The Defence Headquarters has deployed special Operations Forces in flash points in Sothern Kaduna, Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, said on Thursday in Abuja.
He said: “In a bid to curb the recent attacks and isolated killings in Southern Kaduna, troops of Operation “SAFE HAVEN” have continued to intensify efforts aimed at securing the lives and property in the general area.
Enenche urged the local to cooperate with the military by supplying credible and reliable information that would help the troop in their operations.Eneche also denied the allegation that the troops in Baga were indulging in other activities other than fighting the war, stressing that the allegation was unfounded and baseless.According to him, attention of the Defence Headquarters was drawn to the alleged activities of troops in Baga, regarding dealings in livestock and farming.
According to him, for the past one month we have witnessed downward trend in the activities of armed bandits and cattle rustlers in the general areas of Katsina, Kebbi, Zamfara, Sokoto and adjoining states. “The troops have continued to dominate the general area with clearance patrols, aggressive fighting patrols and confidence-building patrols.
