NewsMedia: NIGERIAN ARMY LAUNCH INFORMATION ALERT SYSTEM TO TACKLE TERROR

The Nigerian Army has launched an online
information system that will track and tackle terrorist
threat in the country within fifteen minutes. The
information processing system commissioned on
Wednesday by the Chief of Transformation and
Innovation, Major General Ibrahim Sani, will alert a
network of security agencies nationwide of any
terrorist activity reported by any Nigerian via email
or text message. Major General Sani explained that
information on the network system cannot be
compromised and will respond confidentially to all
distress and emergency calls. The Nigerian Army
Information Processing System can reached via the
following email addresses:

Nigerianarmytips@
yahoo.com
Nigerianarmytips@gmail.com
SMS can
also be sent to the following dedicated
numbers:
08160030300, 07053331230, 8181555888

Many have questioned the inability of the
government to adequately tackle the increasing
threat by members of Boko Haram and other
widespread security concerns. But the Nigerian Army
has risen to the challenge with the use of information
technology to address the issue using information
processing system. The system is designed to
speedily alert the Police, the State Security Service
(SSS) and other security agencies of any terrorist
action observed in any part of the country. Major
General Sani maintained that basic training of skilled
operators on the system has already begun, adding
that issues of power failure or hacking into the
network will not be a challenge as the system will be
powered by an inverter and managed by
professionals. The Information Processing
System,according to the army, also allows
communication in local languages as long as the
information is clearly described using the right
medium.
