The Deputy Commandant General of Nigeria’s Forests Security Services (Special Duties), Sunday Ojakovo, has warned all bandits hibernating in the country’s forests to either vacate or be prepared for war.

He also noted that the NFSS operatives were ready to wipe out bandits from the entire forests in the country.

Ojakovo gave the warnings during the grand finale of a five-day capacity building training for NFSS officers at the Government College, Ughelli, Delta State on Friday.

He said, “Criminals hiding in Nigeria’s forests to carry out their nefarious activities are advised to leave the forests immediately or else they should be ready for a total showdown in no distant time.

“We are only waiting for official instructions from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to strike and flush out criminal enemies hiding in the country’s forests to carry out their criminal activities.”

“They are advised in their interest to leave before the evil days, as gallant officers and men of NFSS are much more ever ready for an assignment ahead of them.”

Addressing participants at the training session, the NFSS boss thanked all the officers and men for their high level of discipline and professionalism.

He also lauded the resource personnel for their quality output, noting that the training would aid the agency’s determined bid to flush out criminals from the country’s forests.

Ojakovo further charged the NFSS officers to effectively deploy the skills and lessons garnered at the training for the anti-terror war.

“Our ungoverned forests are our business. Go and secure the forests of the nation, forests in our communities, and our domains. You are the one who knows them, go and secure them”, he stated.
