From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
A group known as Arewa Citizens Action for Good Governance has observed that the operations of the Nigerian Army have witnessed improved engagements in line with the rules of engagement in war and conflict situations.
In a press statement signed by its President Comrade Sani Mohammed and
made available to Peoples Daily, the group said this development is commendable and an indication that in no distant time, activities of bandits and other criminal elements will be a thing of the past with the renewed onslaught.
The Arewa group acknowledged the efforts of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Farouq Yahaya, in the fight against banditry and other forms of criminalities in the country.
They maintained that the zeal and commitment of the Nigerian Army are indeed laudable and responsible for the numerous gains recorded so far in parts of the North West and other parts of the country.
“The Chief of Army Staff has displayed uncommon courage in leading the war against banditry through ingenious ways, such as coordinating the battles from the front and entrenching a regime of collaboration with sister security agencies in the country.
“He has displayed an unalloyed passion for service to the country. This has resulted in coordinated and strategic efforts to rid the country of bandits and criminal activities.
“We also commend officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their gallant displays in taking the battle to the bandits in their enclaves, dislodging them and liberating communities from their nefarious activities”, the group stated.
