How Buhari administration is tackling Nigeria's security challenges - Presidency - Premium Times Nigeria

As Nigerians continue to grapple with multi-faceted security crises in different parts of the country, the Buhari administration has released some measures being taken by the police and security forces to address the challenges.

Ø Operation Puff Adder , Operation HARBIN KUNAMA 3 and Exercise Egwu Eke 3 have all been launched in 2019, to complement the existing Operations Sharan Daji and Diran Mikiya . All of these operations are focused on tackling banditry and criminality in the North West of Nigeria. ● April 5- The Nigerian Police launched ‘Operation Puff Adder’, a multi-agency strategy, in collaboration with the Nigerian Armed Forces and the Department of State Services , tailored towards ridding the Kaduna – Abuja Expressway, Kogi, Katsina, Niger and Zamfara states of all forms of crimes and criminality- kidnapping, armed robbery, cattle rustling, amongst others.

● Following the arrest of the kidnappers’ ‘spiritual father’, Police detectives attached to ‘Operation Puff Adder’, arrested 18 notorious kidnappers and armed robbers at different times and places across the country. A total of twenty- two AK 47 rifles, five locally fabricated pistols and a cache of live ammunition were recovered from the bandits.

● 13 April- Troops conducting ‘Operation Sharan Daji’ in Zamfara State killed 23 bandits and arrested 18 suspected informants, cattle rustlers, kidnappers and logistics suppliers to armed criminals in the state. ● May 8- Troops on Exercise ‘HARBIN KUNAMA III’ arrested a notorious logistics supplier for bandits crouching between Jibia-Batsari axis -one Marwana Abubakar was arrested at Kwashabawa village in Jibia LGA, Katsina State.

● 12 March- In continuation of efforts to enhance security in Kaduna State and its environs, the Nigerian Air Force , working with other security agencies, intensified aerial surveillance over identified hotspots and flashpoints in the state while sustaining its air patrol along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway. Some of the areas covered in the surveillance missions include Gonin Gora, Kajuru, Kujama, Kasuwar Maganin and surrounding settlements.

If Buhari's administration is truly tackling security issues and the state of security in the nation especially in the north is getting worse daily, then he have failed as the commander in chief of the arm force and should resign.

The miyettih Allah being currently pampered by d fed govt will soon be deadlier than d insurgents & bandits who are just in few areas of Nig
