Tinubu Upbeat On Military’s Success In North West

President Bola Tinubu has received with relief the news of the strings of successful operations against security threats in the Northwest by troops of the Nigerian military.

He said the success of the operations gives assurance that security operatives are up to the task of ensuring peace and security in the country.

Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji had on Thursday killed a wanted bandit leader, Halilu Sububu, who had been unleashing terror in Zamfara, Sokoto and other parts of the North-West. The troops also killed another terrorist, Sani Wala Burki, in a joint operation in Katsina, and busted a terrorist enclave in Kaduna, where 13 kidnapped students were freed.

The successful operations follow the president’s directive to the service chiefs to relocate to the zone until normalcy is restored.

Tinubu in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, commended the military high command, intelligence agencies and troops for their valiant efforts, synergy and dedication, which have resulted in the recent outcomes.

Tinubu reassured the security agencies of his continued support in achieving the priority objective of keeping the nation safe and secure.
