Former Senator and member of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Abdullahi Gobir, has backed the renewed military offensive against terrorists, bandits and other criminal elements operating in Sokoto East and other vulnerable parts of Sokoto State.
Gobir said the persistent attacks on rural communities had become a serious threat to lives, agriculture, livelihoods and economic activities in the state.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, he said the renewed operations by the Nigerian Army and other security agencies should be sustained until criminal networks responsible for killings, abductions and displacement were dismantled.
“The people of Sokoto have endured enough. Terrorists and bandits must not be allowed to dictate the future of our communities or hold innocent citizens hostage through fear and violence,” he said.
