President Bola Tinubu on Saturday commended the military for its recent successful operations against security threats in the North-West, which he said provided reassurance that security operatives are capable of ensuring the nation’s peace and safety.
According to Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, these victories followed Tinubu’s directive for service chiefs to relocate to the zone until normalcy was restored.
In a significant breakthrough, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji neutralised notorious bandit leader Halilu Sububu on Thursday.
Sububu had long terrorised citizens across Zamfara, Sokoto, and other parts of the North-West.
In a separate joint operation, troops killed terrorist Sani Wala Burki in Katsina and dismantled a terrorist enclave in Kaduna, freeing 13 kidnapped students in the process.
The President praised the military high command, intelligence agencies, and ground troops for their valiant efforts, synergy, and dedication, which led to these outcomes.
He also commended the broader security apparatus for improving national security and urged them to sustain their efforts until all immediate and latent threats are permanently eradicated.
“President Tinubu reassures the security agencies of his continued support in achieving the priority objective of keeping the nation safe and secure,” Onanuga said.
