Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, has issued a powerful call for sustained military pressure against bandits and terrorists operating across Nigeria, while simultaneously praising the bravery and dedication of the nation's security forces.
In a strongly worded statement, the prominent lawmaker emphasized that maintaining relentless military operations is crucial to completely dismantling criminal networks that have been terrorizing communities and disrupting livelihoods.
Commending Recent Military Successes
Senator Barau specifically highlighted the recent successful operations conducted by Nigerian troops, which resulted in the neutralization of numerous terrorists and the recovery of significant weapons caches. He described these achievements as clear evidence of the military's growing effectiveness in combating insecurity.
'The recent successes recorded by our troops in neutralizing bandits across the country are commendable and demonstrate our military's capability to protect citizens,' stated the Deputy Senate President.
Call for Sustained Pressure
The senator stressed that maintaining momentum is critical to achieving lasting peace. He argued that any reduction in military pressure could allow criminal elements to regroup and launch fresh attacks on vulnerable communities.
'We must maintain this momentum and ensure these criminals have no breathing space to reorganize and threaten our people,' Barau emphasized, underscoring the importance of consistent military engagement.
Support for Security Personnel
Beyond the call for continued operations, Senator Barau expressed his full support for the men and women in uniform, acknowledging the sacrifices they make daily to ensure national security. He praised their courage and professionalism in facing dangerous situations to protect Nigerian citizens.
The Deputy Senate President's statement comes at a time when security challenges remain a top concern for both the government and ordinary Nigerians, with ongoing military operations targeting criminal elements in various regions of the country.
