KADUNA — Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe has appealed to the Nigeria Army to deploy more troops along Kaduna-Kachia-Kafanchan and Kaduna -Birnin Gwari roads to deal with bandits and other criminals perpetrating crimes within the area.
She made the appeal when the Chief of Army Staff, (COAS) Lt. Gen. Farouk Yahaya paid her a visit to the Government House, Kaduna on Wednesday, explained that there were security challenges along the Kaduna-Abuja highway, “But with the presence of troops on the axis, kidnapping and banditry has moved to the Kaduna-Kachia- Kafanchan axis.”
Balarabe noted that the deployment of more troops on the road will go a long way in reducing the security challenges in the state as well as make the people feel safer when they ply the route.
“I will just say that, we have been lucky so far to have Operation Safe Haven for putting in their best to secure the state, especially the southern part. We have been enjoying relative peace until the recent crisis in Zango Kataf’,” she said.
While commending the efforts of the military, she called for the deployment of more troops to Zangon Kataf due to the recent situation and also in the Birnin Gwari area of the state.
Responding, the Chief of Army Staff, (COAS) Lt. Gen. Faruk Yahaya while appreciating the support and cooperation being enjoyed by the Army in the state, urged the governor not to relent in that regard.
