Insecurity: We’ll Never Allow Terrorists Have Their Way – Sultan

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has described bandits as total terrorists who must be eliminated.

The monarch stated this when the Chief of Army Staff, General Faruk Yahya, paid him Sallah homage on Tuesday.

“We will never allow terrorists to have their ways. The more we strategize to defeat them the better for all of us.”

The Sultan said the challenges are testing the capacity of security operatives.

“Like what Mr President day on Sallah day, I too believe we are bringing this to an end,” he maintained

However, the Chief of Army Staff promised to get Bello Turji and other bandits terrorising the northwestern part of Nigeria.

Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony of forward operation base in Isa local government area of Sokoto state on Tuesday, he assured that there was no resting place for terrorists.

“We will reach to where they are hiding, defeat them and recover their weapons,” he reiterated

According to him, the essence of establishing the base was to shorten the distance to bandits’ dens.

“We know how important Isa is to our operation. It holds a strategic position in our operation. We are establishing forward base in important places in our effort to improve the reach to bandits, terrorists and other criminals, defeat them and recover their weapons,” he said

He said that, more foots, equipment and other enablers would be deployed to the base.

He thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for his sustained support to the army.
