S’West military operation to tackle Badoo, others –Army

The Nigerian Army on Wednesday identified the Badoo group and other cults as one of the security challenges that Operation Crocodile Smile II would take care of in the South-West.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Sani Usman, who stated this in an interview with Punch correspondent, insisted that the military operations – Egwu Eke II and Crocodile Smile II – like the earlier operations were not targeted at “any particular ethnic group or group of individuals.”

Usman said, “Let me tell you. I made reference to Operation Crocodile Smile, because there is so much mischief and misinformation in respect of Exercise Egwu Eke II. What we are saying is that the exercise is not targeted at any particular ethnic group or a group of persons.
