Nigerian Defence Headquarters has adopted the trending ‘No Gree for Anybody slogan’, charging Nigerians to collaborate with security agencies and stand in vehement opposition against terrorism.

“Make Nigerians no gree for terrorists this year,” Edward Buba, director of defence media operations, said while addressing the press in Abuja on Thursday.

“You see something, you say something and we assure them of doing something.”

Mr Buba added that “the aim of our ongoing operations remains unchanged and clear even in the new year 2024. We aim to find and destroy the terrorist wherever they may be hiding to ensure their enduring defeat. This would deny the terrorist the ability to terrorize or hurt citizens across the country.

“Our operations indicate that we are hunting the terrorist commanders and their senior leadership. Indeed, from their topmost leadership to the lowest commanders are dead men walking and we will stop at nothing until they are dead or surrender.”

He further said the Nigerian military’s recent operations have “resulted in 86 neutralized terrorists with 101 of them arrested. Troops also arrested 30 perpetrators of oil theft and rescued 21 kidnapped hostages. In the SS, troops denied oil theft of the estimated sum of N736,115,470.00 only.”

Nigerian Defence Headquarters adapting trending ‘No Gree for Anybody’ slogan comes hours after the Nigerian police warned that the slogan is coming from a revolutionary push which could trigger chaos across the country.

Force spokesperson Olumuyiwa Adejobi, at a press briefing on Wednesday, said that based on intelligence, the police were informed that the slogan was aimed at triggering a revolution in the country.

“Let me say it again the new slogan for 2024, “No gree for anybody.” We have been informed by intelligence that this slogan is coming from a revolutionary sector that may likely cause problems across the country,” Mr Adejobi said.

“No dey gree for anybody is being seen as a normal talk but in the security community we have seen it as a very very dangerous slogan that can trigger crisis.”
