He said that the citizens would not notice any change in their day-to-day activities and that there would not be extra checkpoints.
Buratai said that there would not be additional troops on the streets and the rules of engagement would thoroughly observe.
He said that the operation was in collaboration with other security agencies like the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Department of State Service (DSS) among others.

Buratai said that President Muhammadu Buhari was in support of the operation as well as the Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Staff.
Earlier, the Chairman, Rep. Abdulrazak Namdas (APC-Adamawa) said that the house has it on good authority that the Army intends to commence OPI on November 1 nationwide.
He said that the majority of Nigerians understand the OPI as carrying some form of identification when they go about their daily activities.
Namdas said that though the major role of the army is to safeguard the territorial integrity of Nigeria when there critical internal security challenges, the army could be invited.
According to him, we are happy that the army has been doing that in the South-South, North West, North Central and in the North East.
Namdas said that there were a lot of issues in the zones ranging from Boko Haram, pipeline vandalism, kidnapping, cattle rustling, banditry among others.
“Giving the number of issues at hand, we are shocked to hear that the military is adding to its authority by taking the job of the police or Immigration.
“So we felt that it was necessary for us to sit down with the military; you have your roles to play and we expect that you cannot add for yourself especially roles not envisaged in the Constitution.
“Today’s military is subservient to the civil rule and you take authority from the civil; as a parliament, we will not rely only on information the papers and so we called you to explain more,” he said.
Namdas said that the committee and indeed Nigerians needed to know what the OPI is about and how it would be implemented.
Rep. Prestige Ehiriodu (APGA-Abia) urged the army to put on a human face when carrying out the operation.
He said that it was important for the citizens to see the army as friends and not as enemies while carrying out the operation.
Also, Rep. Shina Peller said that the army should be commended and supported for coming up with new ideas to deal with security challenges in the country.
