Officers and ratings of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS DELTA), Warri, have been warned to desist from indiscriminate use of social media in order to stay out of trouble.
The Commander of the NNS Delta, Commodore Abba Muhsin, gave the warning on Saturday shortly after the quarterly Route March by the personnel of the command.
Muhsin admonished the personnel to stay out of trouble and be mindful of the way they use social media.
“Do not make yourself vulnerable in whatever way. If you must find yourself on social media, it must be within the acceptable standards,” he warned.
Commodore Muhsin led the officers and ratings on the exercise that kick-started at about 6:15 a.m. on Saturday.
The exercise commenced at the Warri Navy base, route Okere Road through Airport Road and connected the NPA expressway and terminated at the Navy base.
The naval boss also warned criminals to steer clear of NSS Delta Area of Operations or prepare for the consequences.
“NNS Delta Areas of Operation is 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 said that the exercise represented the Navy’s readiness, physical fitness and the true military spirit of its personnel.
He added that the exercise was aimed at reviving the personnel’s conduct, endurance and collective abilities to fulfil 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 while we are together and feeling the impacts together.
“Both officers and ratings know what it means to endure, going through long distances without water as part of our training,” he said.
On the civil-military relations, Commodore Muhsin thanked the people of Delta, particularly the residents of Warri.
“You could see that the men, women and youth all came out to wish us well. We are with them and they are with us.
“We enjoy the relationship and we are going to do more to reach out to them, that we are here to give them the protection they needed,” he said.
