We won’t allow criminals to destroy our communities – Senator Barau
The Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has vowed that criminals will not be allowed to destroy communities in Kano North.
He assured residents that the area remains peaceful despite recent bandit threats.
Senator Barau, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, commended the swift response of security agencies in repelling bandits who attempted to attack parts of Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State.
He said troops of the Joint Task Force Operation MESA, under the command of the 3 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, acted on credible intelligence and successfully neutralised 19 bandits on November 1.
The operation, according to him, prevented what could have been a deadly assault on local communities.
“I commend the gallantry of the troops and other security personnel who bravely defended our people,” Senator Barau said.
“We will not allow marauding criminals fleeing from military operations in neighbouring states to destabilise our peaceful communities.”
The lawmaker also expressed sadness over the deaths of two soldiers and a vigilante member who lost their lives during the operation.
He prayed for the repose of their souls and comfort for their families.
While urging residents to remain calm and vigilant, Barau called on them to continue supporting security agencies by reporting suspicious movements or activities for prompt action.
