The Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, has advised President
Muhammadu Buhari to train Nigerian soldiers first on how to swim, before
sending them to the creeks.
NDA said, “we have been busy helping those sent to come and
kill us from being drown in the sea because they don’t know, how to swim, the
route and how to navigate the dangerous waterways in our area” they concluded.
It could be recalled that the military operation dubbed
Operation Crocodile Smile suffered a major loss on September 5, 2016 after a
boat accident along the Brass Water Front in Brass Local Government Area (LGA)
of Bayelsa State, leading to the death of four soldiers by drowning.
Also missing were service rifles belonging to the missing
soldiers. Local divers and military personnel in Bayelsa State later recovered
bodies of three drowned soldiers in Brass LGA area.
According to Lloyd Sese, Chairman National Maritime Union,
Bayelsa State Chapter, said the tragic boat accident that claimed the lives of
four soldiers in Brass Local Government area was due to poor logistics and use
of low powered engine boats to convoy military personnel.
