In a significant boost to security in Northwest Nigeria, the Nigerian military has eliminated notorious bandit kingpin Halilu Buzu Sububu, a key figure in the region’s fight against banditry.

This achievement follows the recent relocation of the Command and Control Centre to Sokoto by Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle, acting on the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

As part of President Tinubu’s broader strategy to restore peace and stability in the Northwest, Dr. Matawalle, together with the service chiefs, has been working relentlessly to fulfill the president’s commitment to securing the region. The neutralization of Halilu Sububu marks a significant milestone in this effort.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is fulfilling his promise to the people of the Northwest. The elimination of this notorious bandit kingpin is a proof that we are making significant progress,” Dr. Matawalle stated.

The Minister expressed his gratitude to the Nigerian Army and all security agencies involved in the operation, noting that their determination and dedication are key to the ongoing success. He further assured that the fight to rid the region of banditry is far from over, but the government remains resolute.

“We will not rest until every corner of the Northwest is free from the threat of banditry. The military, under the directive of President Tinubu, is now on a fight-to-finish mission, and we will continue to intensify our operations,” Dr. Matawalle said.

The success of the military operations is being widely celebrated by citizens of zone especially Zamfara, Katsina and Sokoto states. This has brought a sense of relief to communities that have long suffered under the threat of banditry.

Farmers, traders, and businesspeople, who have been among the worst hit, have expressed their appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, Dr. Matawalle, and the Nigerian military for their efforts.

“The joy and relief in these communities are palpable. This victory is a turning point, and it sends a strong message to the likes of Bello Turji and those who seek to destabilize our region – they will be brought to justice,” Dr. Matawalle added.

The Nigerian military remains committed to continuing operations in the region until all bandit leaders and their groups are neutralized, ensuring lasting peace and security for the people of the Northwest.
