In response to the escalating insecurity in the country, the military high command has set up new commands in kaduna state.
The three new commands are situated in samaru zango-kataf, giwa, and birnin-gwari.
Furthermore, the nigeria air force (naf) is planning to establish a base in millennium city, located in the chikun local government area.
The southern kaduna journalists’ forum (skjf) has welcomed these developments, praising the collaboration between governor uba sani and chief of defense staff general christopher musa in addressing the state’s security challenges.
In a statement issued by its chairman, ango bally, and secretary, lilian silas, the forum expressed enthusiasm for the new military bases.
“these strategic moves will significantly help in addressing the protracted banditry, kidnapping, and other security threats in the region and enhance agricultural activities in the state,” the statement reads.
“the forum is optimistic that the deployment of additional military personnel will significantly improve security and enable farmers to access their lands without fear, especially in communities like maro-kajuru, kauru, sanga, giwa, and birnin gwari, which have been witnessing persistent banditry attacks.”
