The Nigerian Army Operations Media Coordinator, Col Aminu Iliyasu, stated this in a press release saying, ‘the exercise, which covers the SouthEast region of the country, is designed to combat criminal activities including kidnappings, armed robbery, inter-cult and communal clashes among other sundry crimes’.
The annual training exercise commenced in 2016 and has consistently recorded remarkable successes since its introduction. Atilogwu Udo is an Igbo expression which can be translated as dance of peace.
