President Bola Tinubu on Saturday commended the military for achieving successful operations against security threats in the North-West.
The President stated that these successes provided further assurance that security operatives were capable of ensuring the nation’s peace and security.
The successful operations followed Mr Tinubu’s directive to service chiefs to relocate to the zone until normalcy was restored, according to Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
Troops from Operation Hadarin Daji had killed notorious bandit leader Halilu Sububu on Thursday, who had been terrorising citizens in Zamfara, Sokoto, and other North-Western Nigerian regions.
Additionally, troops killed terrorist Sani Wala-Burki in a joint operation in Katsina and dismantled a terrorist enclave in Kaduna, freeing 13 kidnapped students.
