President Muhammadu
Buhari has authorized the commencement of a major military operation to sweep
bandits and kidnappers out of Katsina State, said Garba Shehu, Senior Special
Assistant to the President.
The Senior Special
Assistant made the disclosure on Sunday, May 17, in Abuja.
Continuing, he said,
“A major proactive operation by Special Forces, which details are being kept
secret, is now in progress to replace the reactive strikes against insurgent
camps.
“To give a full
effect to the exercise, a planning team is already in the State selecting
targets and making preparations for the execution of the “unprecedented”
operation.
“The Chief of
Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, who has been measured in issuing
official statements on the oncoming exercise, briefed the President on the plan
he intends to flag off shortly.
“President Buhari
who expressed sadness over the recent attacks in the State extended his
condolences to the families of those killed and prayed for the recovery of the
injured.”
