War militants operation delta safe gets new coordinator
It appears that there has been a recent development in the War Against Ransom-taking, Armed Robbery, Kidnapping and Other Related Offences (WAR) militants in Nigeria, specifically with the appointment of a new coordinator for Operation Delta Safe.
Operation Delta Safe is a military operation launched by the Nigerian government in 2016 to combat militancy and other forms of criminality in the Niger Delta region. The operation is led by the Nigerian Navy and involves other security agencies, including the Army, Air Force, and Police.
The new coordinator of Operation Delta Safe is Rear Admiral Akingbolu Olusola, who took over from Rear Admiral Apochi Suleiman. Rear Admiral Olusola has been tasked with leading the operation to tackle the growing threat of militancy and other forms of criminality in the region.
The appointment of a new coordinator comes at a time when the Niger Delta region is facing renewed threats from militants, who have been demanding greater autonomy and a greater share of the region's oil wealth. The militants have been responsible for a number of attacks on oil installations and infrastructure in the region, which has disrupted oil production and led to economic losses for the country.
The Nigerian government has been working to address the root causes of the militancy, including poverty, unemployment, and lack of infrastructure development in the region. The government has also been working to improve security in the region, including the deployment of additional troops and the establishment of new military bases.
It remains to be seen how effective Rear Admiral Olusola will be in his new role, but he has a tough task ahead of him in tackling the complex and deeply entrenched issues of militancy and criminality in the Niger Delta region.
