The Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, has commended the security agencies for their efforts in combating the incursion of bandits into the Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State from neighbouring states.

The troops of Joint Task Force Operation MESA in Shanono LGA, led by 3 Brigade Nigerian Army, killed 19 bandits in a gun duel.

Senator Barau, in a statement by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir, commended the troops for the high display of gallantry and engagement of the criminal elements.

He mourned two gallant soldiers and a vigilante operative who paid the supreme price in the course of securing the area.

He urged the people in the area to be vigilant, remain calm, and promptly report any suspicious movements in their vicinity to security personnel for a swift military response.

He reiterated his commitment to continue supporting the security agencies in the local government area, the Kano North Senatorial District, and the state at large.

“We will not allow these marauding criminals who are on the run from neighbouring states following military operations to destabilise our communities,” he said.
