 Defence minister, CDS to relocate to Sokoto after Turji burnt military vehicles


The Federal Government has directed the Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle and other military chiefs to move to Sokoto State to rid the North-West of the menace of banditry, kidnapping and terrorism.


This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Henshaw Ogubike, Director of Information and Public Relations, Ministry of Defence.


The directive, the government said, is part of an intensified effort to rid the North West of the menace of banditry, kidnapping and terrorism.


The federal government expressed sadness over the activities of terrorists and bandits in the states and its environs, explaining that the strategic move underscored the unwavering commitment of the government to restoring peace and security in the region.


Matawalle said that while in the North West, they would supervise operations and ensure that Bello Turji and his Bandits gang were flushed out.


“These criminal bandits have been circulating videos of a Nigerian military Armoured vehicle that was stuck in a water-logged area.


“And late in the night the officers were asked to withdraw to avoid being ambushed by bandits, later in the night the bandits went to the water-logged area, recording video of the Armoured vehicle that was stuck and celebrating it.


“This incident happened in kwashabawa, Zurmi Local Government Area in Zamfara.


“This is not acceptable as President Bola Tinubu has been giving great support to the Armed Forces of Nigeria.


“The Federal Government is deeply concerned about the persistent threat posed by banditry and terrorism in the North West particularly.


“And so we are ready to deploy all necessary assets to ensure that these criminal elements are flushed out and peace is restored to our communities,” Matawalle said.


He added that there was an urgent need to move against the terrorists to enable people to move freely.


“The time is up for these bandits and terrorists as increased and consistent operations will weaken all their bases.


“I believe my presence in the North West will ginger our armed forces,” he also said.


Matawalle further assured the people of Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara and Kebbi states and the entire North West region that the security forces would leave no stone unturned in flushing out the bandits.


“I will be on the ground in the North West with the CDS and other military chiefs, leading our brave men and women in uniform.


“I also call on residents of these states to remain vigilant and cooperate with the security forces as the Federal Government has resolved to protect the lives and properties of all Nigerians.


“The security and well-being of the people remain the government’s top priority,” the minister added.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
