Tinubu Applauds Military’s Victory In North-West Operations

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

This came as troops of Operation Hadarin Daji, on Thursday, killed a wanted bandit leader, Halilu Sububu, who had been terrorising residents of Zamfara, Sokoto and other parts of Nigeria’s Northwest.

The troops also killed another terrorist, Sani Burki, in a Joint Operation in Katsina and busted a terrorist enclave in Kaduna, where 13 kidnapped students were freed.

“The success of the operations gives further assurance that our security operatives are up to the task of ensuring the peace and security of the nation,” the President said in a statement signed on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.

The statement is titled, ‘President Tinubu commends military on successful operations in North-West, pledges sustained support.’

Onanuga noted that the successful operations followed the President’s directive to the service chiefs to relocate to the zone until normalcy returns.

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.”

He also commended the entire security apparatus for improved security in the nation and encouraged them to sustain their efforts until immediate and latent threats are permanently removed.

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