The operation was launched three weeks ago.” President Buhari further said, “Nigeria’s military has displayed its capabilities in the past and will show it again by dealing with the current challenges”. “President Buhari appeals to the people of Katsina State to be patient and supportive of the ongoing military operations in the state, while sympathizing with those who are bereaved, injured and lost properties. “President Buhari admonishes that taking to the streets for protest could distract the military operations, urging ‘Katsina indigenes not to give up on the military who over the years have a strong track record of quelling crises once given enough time. “The major forests in North Western Nigeria have been identified as home to the bandits in the region. The operation will clear all these forests.” Vanguard Kindly Share This Story:FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsAppPinterestShare Related Insecurity in Katsina'll end soon - Govt January 11, 2019 Insecurity: We’re up to task, Presidency May 13, 2019 Insecurity: FG directs security agencies to end challenges September 3, 2019 All rights reserved.
