This examination is designed to enhance their understanding of military operations, equipping them to better address the country’s current security challenges.
Speaking to the participants in Akure, Major General Kevin Aligbe, Commander of the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC NA), emphasised that the exercise aims to deepen their knowledge of various military operations.
He highlighted the need for this training due to the ongoing security issues that have led to the deployment of Nigerian Army personnel for internal security operations nationwide.
The officers will be tested in key areas including Tactics and Low-Intensity Conflict, Map Reading, Radio Communication, and the French language.
“The objective of this examination is to equip participants with a broader understanding of military operations, considering the security situation in our country.
“I urge all candidates, especially those from outside, to be mindful of their health. We have deployed medical doctors, paramedics, and ambulances to handle medical cases. We have also made arrangements to provide quality meals throughout the examination.”
He advised them to focus on the examination and avoid unnecessary social interactions.
“The security situation in Akure is relatively peaceful but unpredictable. Therefore, I advise you to be vigilant and mindful of your movements. It is also advisable to follow instructions and use only the designated vehicles and buses provided for you,” he said
General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Obinna Onubogu, said the examination was a critical step in the career progression of Nigerian Army officers and encouraged the candidates to display utmost honesty, commitment, and professionalism.
“It is a golden opportunity for the candidates to further consolidate their careers by assessing and evaluating their proficiency and developing their junior leadership capabilities for higher responsibilities in the Nigerian Army.
“Your performance in the examination will be a key determinant of your career progression, as well as ensuring that the Nigerian Army continues to succeed in its operations across the nation,” he added.

Case Background and Prosecution
The convicts were apprehended following a violent cult clash at the Ikenne Town Hall on October 23, 2023, which severely disrupted public peace and local activities.
Prosecuting officer ASP Olaide Rawlings established during the trial that Okusanya belonged to the Eiye Confraternity, while Gafar was affiliated with the Alora Confraternity, alongside other accomplices currently at large. Their actions violated several provisions of the Prohibition of Forcible Entry and Occupation of Landed Properties, Armed Robbery, Cultism, Kidnapping and Other Anti-Violent and Related Offences Law of Ogun State, 2016.
Finding the prosecution’s evidence credible and compelling beyond a reasonable doubt, Magistrate Oke delivered the sentence to serve as a strict deterrent against unlawful secret societies and violent disturbances in the state.
