Maurice Bello Magaji, the Niger State Commissioner for Homeland Security, says that a combined team of security operatives has been deployed to the Kainji Lake National Park to flush out armed bandits terrorising communities in Borgu, Agwara and other neighbouring areas of the State.
Speaking with journalists in his Office in Minna, Magaji said the State Government had intensified security operations in the affected areas to deny criminal elements safe havens and restore peace to the communities.
According to him, the government is fully on top of the situation and is taking decisive measures to make the areas uninhabitable for bandits and other criminal elements responsible for the persistent attacks on residents.
The commissioner reaffirmed the commitment of the Niger State Government to protecting lives and property across Borgu, Agwara and surrounding communities, noting that proactive security strategies had been put in place to curb criminal activities.
“We are not relenting in our efforts to secure Borgu and other security-challenged communities in the state. We have taken proactive steps to ensure that these areas become no-go zones for criminal elements.
