Tinubu commends military for killing notorious bandit, Sububu, others in North-West

President Bola Tinubu on Saturday commended the military for the successful operations against bandits in the North-West.

This president in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the success recorded in the military operations provided further assurance that security operatives were capable of securing the country.

The operations followed President Tinubu’s directive to service chiefs to relocate to the zone until normalcy was restored.

Troops from Operation Hadarin Daji on Thursday killed a notorious bandit leader, Halilu Sububu, who had been terrorising people of Zamfara, Sokoto, and other states in the North-West.

The statement read: “He also commends the entire security apparatus for improved national security and urged them to sustain their efforts until all immediate and latent threats were permanently eradicated.
