Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal has advised the Nigerian Army to review strategies of their military operations against bandits, terrorists and other criminal elements.
Tambuwal gave the advice when the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House on Monday 18 October 2021.
The Army disclosed this in a statement issued by the Army Director of Public Relations, Onyema Nwachukwu, titled, ‘Governor Tambuwal reiterates commitment to support NA in tackling insecurity’, released on Monday.
“He further called for collective effort among citizens and security agencies to fish out perpetrators of heinous crimes in the society,” the statement partly read.
It continued, “He cautioned the public not to shield any one supporting banditry, especially their informants and logistics suppliers.
“He also called on the Federal Government to inject more personnel and resources to make operations much more easier for the security agencies.
“In his remarks, the COAS, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya commended Governor Tambuwal for his continuous support to the NA and urged him not to relent on his effort.
“He assured that the NA will not disappoint the government and people, as effort is ongoing to reorganise and rejig the operations in the Northwest. He emphasized that the NA is working assiduously with other security agencies and stakeholders to robustly confront the situation.”
