The Nigerian Navy Ship, NNS, Delta has issued a stern warning to criminals to steer clear of its areas of operation or prepare for the consequences.
NNS Delta Commander, Commodore Abba Muhsin, gave the warning on Saturday shortly after the quarterly Route March by the personnel of the command.
“NNS Delta Areas of Operation are not for the criminals; we are calling on them to leave peacefully while the good people do their legitimate businesses.
“As long as you want to stay with us, we will definitely get you, therefore, leave before the law catches up on you,” he warned.
Speaking on the Route March, Muhsin says the exercise represents the Navy’s readiness, physical fitness and the true military spirit of its personnel.
He added that the exercise was aimed at reviving personnel’s conduct, endurance and collective ability to fulfill the mandates bestowed on them by the Federal Government.
“This particular Route March falls within the core values of the Nigerian Navy, which are: teamwork, professionalism, and integrity.
“The Route March covers the teamwork aspect, which is why we are together and feeling the impact together.
“Both officers and ratings know what it means to endure, going through long distances without water as part of our training,” he said.
