In the wake of several indicting reports often trailing the
military after each internal security operations, the Nigerian Navy (NN),
yesterday subjected both officers and ratings of the force to training on
protection of civilians in peace support operation and internal security.
A first of its kind training, the seminar which was held at
the Naval Training Command (NAVTRAC) headquarters in Apapa, Lagos, was geared
towards addressing issues of civilian protection instead of harassment and
sometimes rape and death as was witnessed during the Odi massacre.
