President Bola Tinubu has received with relief the news of the strings of successful operations against security threats in the North-West by troops of the Nigerian military.
His commendation was announced on Saturday in a statement issued by his Special Adviser Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
Tinubu said the success of the operations gave further assurance that the security operatives were 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, 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 was restored.
Tinubu commended the military high command, the intelligence agencies, and the troops for their valiant efforts, synergy, and dedication, which had resulted in the recent laudable outcomes.
The president 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 were permanently removed.
Tinubu reassured the security agencies of his continued support in achieving the priority objective of keeping the nation safe and secure.
