Sustain Momentum Against Banditry, 6 Brigade Commander Urges Troops
The Commander 6 Brigade Nigerian Army and Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, has commended the troops of 6 Brigade for their unwavering commitment and gallantry in the ongoing military operation code named “OPERATION LAFIYAN JAMAA.”
The operation, launched across the 16 Local Government Areas of Taraba State, aims to dismantle bandit networks infiltrating the state from neighboring regions and ensuring they find no safe haven. It also seeks to restore peace and security, enabling residents to engage in farming activities without fear during both the dry and rainy seasons.
General Uwa made this commendation today while addressing troops at Andami in Karim Lamido Local Government Area after a successful clearance operation targeting multiple bandit hideouts, including Komodoro, Ginarunbu, Chibi, Chikum, Bitriklin, Mashigi Kirya, Jamaga, and Wagal villages. During these operations, several abandoned bandit camps were discovered and subsequently destroyed, further crippling criminal activities in the area.
The Commander praised the troops for their resilience and urged them to redouble their efforts in sustaining the momentum against banditry, kidnapping, and other criminal activities plaguing the state. “The successes recorded so far are a testament to your dedication and professionalism. However, we must not relent. We must remain vigilant, decisive, and proactive in ensuring that Taraba State remains unsafe for criminals,” General Uwa charged the troops.
The Nigerian Army remains committed to restoring lasting peace and stability in Taraba and beyond, working tirelessly to protect lives and property. The public is encouraged to support security agencies by providing credible information that will aid ongoing operations.
