The Minister of Defence, Abubakar Badaru, has declared that the end of banditry in the country is near.
He urged troops of the Nigerian Armed Forces to defeat the enemies of the country.
The minister stated this on Monday when he commissioned two additional ATAK-129 Helicopters inducted into Operation Fansan Yamma Sector 2 at the Airport Wing, of the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, Katsina State.
Accompanied by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Bala Abubakar, the minister explained that the two additional helicopters have advantage over other fighter jets to ensure that no enemy can hide from justice and were deployed to defeat bandits and other criminal elements that undermine the peace, stability and prosperity of the Northwest Region.
Badaru saluted the courage, dedication, commitment and personal sacrifice of the troops in the ongoing onslaught to secure Nigeria’s future which he believes are already yielding fruitful results.
He added that a lot of positive results have been recorded with farmers are already returning to their farms, children are going back to school, businesses are growing and ordinary Nigerians can sleep in peace.
“We salute you for the personal sacrifice you have been making, leaving behind your families and comfort of your homes to secure our collective future.
“We are grateful, we will remain committed to provide you and your families the necessary resources in ensuring that you receive the best incentives and other benefits.
“The end is near. We need maximum cooperation, intelligence and prayers from the public”, he noted.
