The Chief of Defence Staff, Lucky Irabor, has said the
military has killed many bandits’ leaders amid the recent Abuja-Kaduna train
attack in the country.
Irabor stated this on Tuesday during a meeting with editors
and media executives in Abuja.
Recall that terrorists attacked and kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna-bound
train passengers on March 28, 2022.
Speaking on the recent train attack, Irabor said although some victims had been released, the military and other security agencies remained committed to ensuring the safe rescue of the remaining victims in captivity.
He said the military had intensified both air and ground
operations to deal with criminals in all parts of the country, adding that
several successes had been recorded in recent times.
The CDS said that based on military air operations, the
military, on Aug. 6, killed one Alhaji Abdulkareen, a bandits’ leader, along
with his fighters in Nigeria’s North West.
“By the deeds of the surgical air operations that we have
conducted, many of the bandits’ leaders have been killed,” Irabo added.
Irabo said the essence of the parley was to solicit
understanding and support from the media in the fight against the security
challenges bedevilling the nation.
He, however, called for greater cooperation between the
military and the media to find solutions to the security challenges and
disallow enemies from stoking fears in the minds of the public.
The army chief also urged Nigerians and political leaders to
understand the distinction between military operations and politics, adding
that the military remained undaunted in ensuring a safe and secure nation.
