17 bloody encounters from Katsina, Zamfara, Borno battlefields vanguardnews
It is on the premise of the foregoing and the fact that criminality of all forms and kinds are universal that sociologists, security experts and martial strategists often focus more attention on what can be done to reduce criminality to the barest minimum.
This is why our armed forces and other security agencies have toiled night and day to secure the nation. It is on the basis of this that the Armed Forces, last week, killed no fewer than 196 criminal elements across all theatres of Operation in the country. The Coordinator disclosed that the ground troops of Operation Lafiya Dole had no fewer than 17 encounters with the BHT/ISWAP criminals in the North-East theatre of operation.
“The massive air strikes resulted in the obliteration of BHT structures used as meeting venue at Mainyakare Village on the fringes of Sambisa Forest. In the process, several of their fighters were neutralized. On additional efforts made to crumble the inglorious industry of terrorism, armed banditry and growing criminal empire across the country, the spokesperson said that, as part of efforts to mitigate the current spate of banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other activities of criminal elements in the North-West, the Chief of the Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusufu Burutai, launched subsidiary Operation Sahel Sanity under Operation Hadarin Daji.
Enenche also spoke on non-kinetic approach to improve Civil-Military Cooperation under Operation Safe Haven so as to harvest credible intelligence that could lead to dismantling criminal structures and networks. To this end, Enenche said the Maritime Component of Operation Delta Safe specifically, Nigerian Navy Ship Delta and Pathfinder impounded 565,000 litres of suspected illegally refined AGO.
