Mr Buratai assured all law abiding people of the state that the Army would ensure adequate security and safety even as the nation approaches the 2019 general elections.
He said the Army would work in cooperation with other security agencies to ensure peace in the state.
The army chief said at the end of the python dance exercise,” the python must have swallowed all the hoodlums, bandits, kidnappers and militants among others in the country.
“The python will also address the issues of fake news by unpatriotic elements; it is necessary that we draw the attention of all well-meaning Nigerians that they must have at the back of their minds the importance of national security.
“Giving out official information or spreading fake news is inimical to national security.”
In his remarks, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa appreciated the Army for bringing the brigade to Asaba.
