The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Abayomi Olonisakin, has reassured the general public and the people of Zamfara state and environs of their safety.
This is just as he noted, that Operation Sharan Daji which is currently on in the state, is focused on restoring peace and security in the entire area.
According to a statement made available to The Sight News by the Acting Director Defence Information, Brigadier General John Agim, the reassurance came after a debriefing of the CDS by the Force Commander of the Operation, Major General Stevenson Olabanji on January 3, 2019, alongside some principal officers of the Defence and Services Headquarters.
Agim, stated that the debriefing became necessary to re-strategize the operation, as it will be recalled, that attacks on innocent citizens in villages of Zamfara state became rampant in recent times.
He said that going by the debriefing of the Commander, progress is being made in the safeguarding of lives and properties of citizens within the Joint Operations Area.
Operation Sharan Daji was established in Zamfara State to fight banditry, Kidnapping and rustling and currently engaged as part of Operation 777 nationwide.
