In a bid to ensure the return of socio-economic activities, which were hitherto hampered by activities of bandits and other criminal elements, Nigerian Army (NA) troops from 1 Division in conjunction with operatives of Nigeria Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps as well as local vigilantes and hunters embarked on a special joint clearance operation in Falgore Forest and other flash points in Kano State.
Confirming the report, Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima said the clearance operation which was still ongoing was geared towards complementing the efforts of the standby troops at Forward Operating Base Falgore, with the ultimate aim of making sure that bandits, kidnappers and other criminal elements from neighbouring States do not infiltrate into the forest and any other part of Kano State to carry out their nefarious activities.
The Army spokesperson reassured the good people of Kano State of the safety of their life and property and also urged them to continue to report suspicious movements of strange individuals or groups in their vicinity to the nearest security agency for prompt action.
Yerima said the Nigerian Army in close cooperation with all the stakeholders on security was determined to ensure full return to normalcy in Kano State and other adjoining states in order to enable law abiding citizens go about their normal businesses without harassment by criminal elements.
