Group commends military over sustained onslaught against criminals

Unity Advocacy Group (UAG), a Civil Society group has called for sustained efforts by the Armed Forces of Nigeria in dealing with security threats and economic saboteurs in the country.

The Convener of the group, Ifeanyi Aigbedion gave the charge in a statement on Saturday, in Abuja.

The group also hailed the relentless efforts of the military in tackling insecurity in the country.

Aigbedion noted the current efforts of the military would go a long way in supporting the economic development plans of President Bola Tinubu.

He said that the Armed Forces of Nigeria under the Chief of Defence Staff, Maj.-Gen. Chistopher Musa, with the support of the Chief of Army Staff, Maj.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja was poised to make life difficult for economic saboteurs, bandits, insurgents and other criminals.

According to him, recently, troops of the 4 Special Forces, Doma in Nasarawa State, arrested 12 suspected rail track vandals at Angwan Yara, Keana Local Government Area of the State.

“The suspects were arrested with a large quantity of rail tracks loaded in two trucks. In the course of investigation, the troops arrested additional seven suspects on June 18 who had made confessional statements.

“In this operation, personnel of the Army rejected a bribe of N5 million offered by the suspects.

“Similarly, Troops of 5 Battalion operating under 16 Brigade, Nigerian Army, in a raid operation on June 25 at Azuzuama Community in Ijaw South Local Government Area of Bayelsa State captured an armoury located in a Camp from where suspected unrepentant militants and illegal oil bunkerers carry out their nefarious activities.

“In another operation, Troops of Operation Hadarin Daji deployed to Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara rescued 20 kidnap victims while on their routine patrol in the general area.

“The victims comprised two females including a housewife who was abducted a week after her wedding, three children and 15 males, who were kidnapped from different parts of Zamfara and Sokoto states.

“The victims have spent 21 to 53 days respectively in the hands of their captors,” he said.

The group commended troops for the sacrifices been made to bring peace and stability in the country.

They urged Nigerians to support the the military to make the country a better place.

“We have no doubt, that the choice of Maj.-Gen. Musa as CDS and Maj.-Gen. Lagbaja as COAS is going to be a nightmare for enemies of the country,” the group added.
