The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has commended the Nigerian troops for their recent accomplishments in eliminating notorious bandit leaders who have been wreaking havoc across Northern Nigerian states.

In a statement released by its national coordinator, Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, the CNG also acknowledged the role played by the Chiefs of Army staff, the Directorate of Security Services and the Office of the National Security Adviser in this success.

They particularly commended the Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa, saying without his disciplined commitment the current successes against the bandits wouldn’t have been possible.

The CNG applauded the military’s efforts in rescuing the four victims abducted from the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma in Katsina State.

However, the northern groups called for intensified efforts to rescue the kidnapped female students of the Federal University, Gusau, as well as all others currently in captivity.

“The bandit leaders, namely Machika, Haro, Dan Muhammadu, and Ali Alhaji Alheri, have been responsible for multiple deadly attacks, including killings, kidnappings, and displacements in Zamfara, Niger, Kaduna, and Katsina states. Ali Alhaji Alheri, also known as Kachalla Ali Kawaje, was believed to be behind the attack on the Kaduna-Abuja train and the kidnapping of hundreds of passengers.

“He was also the mastermind of the attack and abductions of students of the Gusau University.

“The CNG recognizes that neutralizing these bandit leaders is crucial for the security and well-being of the people in the region. Their elimination will undoubtedly contribute to the restoration of peace and stability in Northern Nigeria and expresses its gratitude to the Nigerian troops for their dedication and commitment to safeguarding the lives and properties of the citizens,” Charanchi said.
