He made the pledge during a courtesy call on Governor Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State on Monday.

“We are very much aware of the insecurity in the Sokoto East and other parts of the North West region. I must tell you that the Nigerian Army is determined to stamp out the insecurity in those general areas.”

Lagbaja, however, reaffirmed his confidence on the General Officer Commanding of the division and Commander, Operation Hadarin Daji, Major General Godwin Mutkut to do the needful in order to bring about the desired peace and stability in the region.
