President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the military for the strings of successful operations against security threats in the north-west.
The president said the success of the operations gives further assurance that the security operatives were up to the task of 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, 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 followed the president’s directive to the service chiefs to relocate to the zone until normalcy is restored.
The president 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 the improved security in the nation and enjoined them to sustain their efforts until immediate and latent threats are permanently removed.
The president reassured the security agencies of his continued support in achieving the priority objective of keeping the nation safe and secure.
