Army Chief says bombed Mammy Market to re-open soon
The Chief of Army
Staff, Azubuike Ihejirika, on Tuesday in Abuja said the Mogadishu Mammy
Market is to be re-opened soon for business.
An explosion rocked the market located at the Mogadishu Cantonment in Abuja on Dec. 31, 2010.
Speaking to
journalists in Abuja yesterday, Mr Ihejirika said the market would be
opened once the place was cleaned up and data needed for the
investigation compiled and that “the closing time has been nine o clock
and this will be maintained but security will be beefed up.
“Life will continue but security will be beefed up that is all,” he said.
The Army Chief said
the army was prepared to tackle any security challenge, adding that
training was also on-going as there was no amount of preparation that
was enough.
Mr Ihejirika explained that training directives have been issued for the 2011 training programme.
“It also embodies the forecast of events for the year and is a
detailed programme giving directives to commanders in the field on
where to focus their training,” he stated.
