Buhari to revamp ‘war against indiscipline’ brigadeABUJA: Nigeria said Tuesday it is reviving a “war against indiscipline” campaign in a reincarnation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s strict social crusade when he served as military ruler over 30 years ago. Buhari initiated the so-called war against indiscipline brigade to tackle corruption and moral turpitude in the West African country after seizing power in a military coup in December 1983. “In this era of insecurity, violence and other forms of social vices, the role of the war against indiscipline brigade in civil intelligence gathering cannot be over-emphasized,” the National Orientation Agency (NOA), a government promotion organization, said in a statement. The brigade, which is a voluntary, non-profit force, has been on the streets since its inception but NOA head Garba Abari said that the government hopes to make the brigade more “relevant.”“They can help through moral persuasion. “We are also going to find a way of really coordinating their activities.
