 The General Officer Command in 81 Division, Major General Obinna Ajonwa, has raised in a lab over the illicit use and peddling of drugs in the society, especially in the barracks, with a promise to take the fight seriously in 2023. The GOC said this while commissioning a massive six-feet-tall and seven-feet-long Hippopotamus masks at the 9 Brigade headquarters Ikejia Continent on Thursday night. Destiny Momor tells us more. The unveiling wasn't without celebration as social activities filled the air. I'm thinking that this Hippopotamus... Country was the mascot of 81 Division, Nigeria and Germany, as well as the Brigade. Speaking on internal security, Major General Obinna Ajonwa says interagency collaborative efforts in ongoing operations such as Operation Iron Fence, OP Mesa, OP Awase, and Ex-Steel Water have led to various arrests of cultists, criminals, drug peddlers, and tackling kidnapping on legacy by the expressway. Under military mascot, the general officer commanding says it is symbolic of good fortune. Strength in resilience, showcased by the Hippopotamus, which is strung as a lion, yet maintains a calm and steady approach. It presents resilience and strength. If you look at it, if you watch animal planets, you'll take the time to watch animal planets. You discover it is a gentle animal, yet very strong. It moves like a lion in the water, and I'm fishing this over a minute. It's not bothered by any other, it's not threatened by any other animal. So also, because the formation we are adopted as a mascot, which is in the midst of so many other strong faiths, but is not moved, so the formation continues to show strength, continue to show resilience in making sure that the objective for which formation to establish this action is primarily for providing security, national defence, and all that. Earlier, in his welcome remarks, Commander 9th Brigade, Brigadier General Isangabong Akbamonsia, set the mascot over the years, has contributed to the morale and psychological spirit of the unit's formation.
