According to the statement, the state government-sponsored joint military operations in the area have been successful, leaving the bandit terrorists disorganized. Many terrorist enclaves were identified and destroyed, with several bandits neutralized. Hundreds of kidnapped victims are also being rescued in the ongoing operations.
It urges residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious movements in their areas. “As security operatives put more pressure on the bandits, they are fleeing to other areas with their injured members. We are creating awareness to alert our people to be cautious, as some bandits may disguise themselves and seek refuge in villages or receive treatment at local clinics.”
The government encourages residents to report suspicious activities to security agencies, contributing to efforts to secure the state and make it economically viable, in line with Governor Ahmed Aliyu’s 9-point agenda.
