President Bola Tinubu has expressed relief at the news of the strings of successful operations against security threats in the north-west by troops of the Nigerian military.
The President expressed this via a statement on Saturday, 14 September, 2024 by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Tinubu stated that the success of the operations gives further assurance that the nation’s security operatives are up to the task of ensuring the peace and security of the nation.
Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji, on Thursday, 12 September, 2024, neutralised a wanted bandit leader, Halilu Sububu, who had been unleashing terror on citizens in Zamfara, Sokoto, and other parts of north-western Nigeria. 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.
President Tinubu commended the military high command, the intelligence agencies, and the troops for their valiant efforts, synergy, and dedication, which have resulted in the recent laudable outcomes.
The President also commended the entire security apparatus for the improved security in the nation, enjoining them to sustain their efforts until immediate and latent threats are permanently removed.
President Tinubu reassured the security agencies of his continued support in achieving the priority objective of keeping the nation safe and secure.
