The “crocodile smile” exercise is coming in the wake of #EndSARS protests across Nigeria against police brutality.
Reacting to the new development, civil society groups have asked soldiers to remain in the barracks and allow the people express their rights to peaceful protest.
Recall the Nigeria Army first launched “Crocodile Smile” in 2016 when cries for secession became loud in the southern region of Nigeria.
