“The compliance with the directives of President Muhammadu Buhari by the Nigerian Air Force of the deployment of Fighter Aircraft to launch fierce attacks on the bandits is another visible pointer that we are not left with our own fate.” said Yari.
The NGF Chairman also described the Presidential Authorisation of Advanced Satellite Surveillance Technology to ensure accurate detection of movement and locations of the criminals as worthy of appreciation, adding that it would help significantly in the operation.
Hon. Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar reaffirmed his government’s commitment and continuous engagement of traditional institutions, community leaders and other stakeholders with a view to complimenting the federal and State governments’ efforts in dislodging the bandits.
The Governor therefore enjoys people of the state to remain firm, prayerful and desist from any act of rumour circulation as it frightens innocent people into despair.
