Meet Youngest Nigerian Army Brigadier General

Good day Sirs/Mas, personnel and family members are advised to be mindful of our security. even as we pray, listen to news regularly. The country is going through very difficult and unsafe times. We all need to be concerned about our safety. Do not say it can never happen to me. No one is safe. Men of God, Security men like us both serving and retired etc. No one is safe nowhere is safe. Let us try and observe strict security protocols together with our prayers

ONE

We are advise never to stay out of the house late, especially those staying outside the Base/personal houses.

Come back home or stay close to your house latest 1800hrs.

TWO

Do not travel in marked vehicles. For example, vehicles bearing names, company etc. 

THREE

Do not travel in groups. If you are to go for a program, move alone.

FOUR

If your area is being attacked, switch of all lights including any switch with lights no matter how tiny. Remove all jewelry on your body and wrap your phone in a cloth to prevent light reflection that can betray your position. 

If you hear gunshot, leave your bed and lie flat under the bed and out of your window. Get out of sight. Lie close to any wall.

FIVE

Do not take ride in any vehicle that you don't know. Take public transportation at all times.

SIX

When you go out, dress normal and neat not flashy. Never wear any clothes that can get you noticed or identified. 

SEVEN

If you are going out to somewhere, tell someone where you are going to and the expected time of your arrival. If possible don't go alone.

EIGHT

On no account should you visit online friends. People who you meet on social media, you should never visit them either in public or in their home or office. NEVER.

NINE

Speak very little when you are in the public and never comment on government or political issues.

TEN

Always maintain call credit on your phone and always ensure you have power on it or buy power bank. You may need to make contact incase of an ATTACK

ELEVEN

If under attack, do not make voice calls, because sound travel faster and quietly at night, just ring the number repeatedly if the person pick, don't speak. Just send text. When doing that do it under cover so that your phone will not reflect any ray of light.

TWELVE

Don't buy group dress from anyone for now. No matter how close they are to you , don't buy. 

THIRTEEN

Don't attend parties that you are not closely concerned.

FOURTEEN

If at all, you come under attack, remember there are only 2 rules to guide you. 

1) DO NOT PANIC

2) NOT TO FORGET RULE 1

If you panic, you will attract attention of the attackers to yourselves, and you will not remember exactly what you need to do to keep you safe.

FIFTEEN

This is not the time to do fashion or to showcase your new clothing and shoes. Anytime you go out wear dress and especially shoes that will allow you to run incase you need to get out of troubled area fast. Wear cheap shoes that you can throw away if it impedes your movement. Your dress should not hinder your ability to run. 

SIXTEEN

Prepare for any eventuality. Do not say it can't happen. Be Prepared. Trouble can happen anywhere any time. Remember your life is very important, not your phone or your property. 

SEVENTEEN

If you have to run, throw away anything in your hand. Save yourself first. Don't wait to pick anything that drop from your hands. Run as fast as you can.

EIGHTEEN

If there is shooting, try the rules. Do not panic. The fact that you heard the gunshot means that you are not hit. If you are hit, you will not hear the SOUND. 

Reduce your height first by bending down as close to the ground as possible. 

Then try and identify the direction of the shots first then draw a cross putting the direction of the shot at north or south, run East or WEST. 

Never run straight line in opposite direction because bullets travel at straight line and never run toward the point of the gunshot. 

As you are moving out of the troubled area, identify hard objects or structures that you can use as protection where you can hide. 

If you notice the sound is coming closer, shift your location a little as you continue to run. If not, find a safe place and hide in sitting position to avoid stray bullets from hitting you. 

NINETEEN

At this moment, avoid arguments with People. When you notice people are showing anger, don't wait to settle them, move out of the place as quickly and quietly as you can. Sometimes ago in Ado Ekiti  someone was trying to settle an argument, he was stabbed and he died on the spot. Don't go to places of incidents to go and look what's happening.

TWENTY

At this moment, stay as close as possible to your home. Know the shortest possible routes to your home incase you need to get home quickly.

Always keep some change at hand. Not much, maybe 2k or less incase you need to board a public transport out of any trouble area.

OPEN YOUR EYES AND BE ALERT.

_Suspect everything including people and places._...
