One division Nigerian Army says it has launched several offensives against bandits and other criminal elements within its area of responsibility.
General Officer Commanding the division, Major General Kabir Mukhtar stated this at the annual West African Social Activities-WASA held in Kaduna.
Major General Kabir Mukhtar explained that offensives carried out last year such as thunder strike, dominion storm and multi-agency joint clearance operations have stabilized security situation in the division’s area of responsibility.
He noted that modest achievements have been recorded such as arrest of high value targets, successful clearance operations, rescue of kidnapped victims, recovery of arms and rustled cattles among others.
The GOC noted that the event is yet another forum to remember and pay tributes to fallen heroes who paid the supreme price and sacrifices for the peace of Nigeria.
Highlight of the event was the display of social, cultural, music performance and regimental activities by troops and their families.
Usman Sani.
