According to the statement, the exercise sparked strong apprehension among the populace, leading to the withdrawal of students from schools by parents and misconception of the actual motive for the exercise by stakeholders, community leaders, and the general public for whom it was intended.<\/span><br id=\"m_8757913594828441611yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507740235203_38162\" \/><br id=\"m_8757913594828441611yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507740235203_38163\" \/><span id=\"m_8757913594828441611yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507740235203_38164\">To avoid further escalation of the situation, the statement disclosed, the governor, Mr. Willie Obiano, advised the Army to immediately halt the exercise until considerable public sensitization is conducted to reassure people of its intentions and benefits.<\/span><br id=\"m_8757913594828441611yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507740235203_38165\" \/><br id=\"m_8757913594828441611yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507740235203_38166\" \/><span id=\"m_8757913594828441611yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507740235203_38167\">\u201cThe exercise has therefore been put on hold. Parents and guardians are strongly advised to stop withdrawing their wards from schools as the situation has been handled.
