President Bola Tinubu said he received with relief the news of the strings of successful operations against security threats in the North West by troops of the Nigerian military.
This was revealed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday.
In the statement, Tinubu said 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”.
Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji on Thursday neutralised a wanted bandit leader, Halilu Sububu, who had been unleashing terror on citizens in Zamfara and Sokoto States and other parts of North West Nigeria.
The troops also killed another terrorist, Sani Wala Burki, in a joint operation in Katsina State and busted a terrorist enclave in Kaduna, where 13 kidnapped students were freed.
Onanuga said: “The successful operations follow the President’s directive to the service chiefs to relocate to the zone until normalcy is restored.
