₦airaland Forum

Jatuski:
The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (AYCF) has commended the recent strides made in the fight against banditry in Nigeria’s North-West region, particularly under the strategic leadership of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Matawalle.



A statement issued by the President General of the forum Yerima Shettima said, in a period marked by considerable fear and violence, largely instigated by notorious bandit leader Bello Turji Kachalla, the forum recognizes the overwhelming response orchestrated by the current administration, reflecting a renewed commitment to restoring peace and security to communities.



He noted that in recent months, the North West has been besieged by a terrifying surge in banditry, casting a pall of insecurity that has affected the daily lives of countless citizens, adding that Turji’s relentless campaign of terror, which has involved extorting protection levies and inflicting grievous harm on innocent civilians, underscores a critical moment in our national discourse on security.



"It is, therefore, commendable that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken decisive action by mandating Minister Matawalle to lead intensified military operations aimed at dismantling Turji's criminal enterprise.



"This redirection in military strategy is not merely a tactical maneuver but a vital step towards reclaiming the dignity and safety of our people. The military's recent engagement with bandits has signified a departure from previous operations, showcasing a newfound tenacity reminiscent of earlier engagements when the military acted without the reticence brought on by media scrutiny".



AYCF further said, under Matawalle’s guidance, the troops have risen to the occasion, confronting banditry not as faceless adversaries but as defenders of honor tasked with the noble duty to restore peace within our borders.



The AYCF said it firmly believes that the government's renewed dedication to total disarmament, demobilization, and reconstruction of affected areas is both timely and critical.



"The proactive measures taken thus far have already resulted in the displacement of bandit elements, an encouraging indication of the military's resolve.



"We urge the troops to maintain this momentum and ensure the total eradication and capture of all criminal elements in the region. We have unfaltering confidence in Minister Matawalle's ability to guide our military forces to victory against the scourge of banditry.



"It is crucial, however, to heed the insights of military leaders such as General Christopher Musa, who remind us that banditry should not be viewed merely as the actions of deranged individuals. This mindset oversimplifies a multifaceted crisis and fails to address the systemic issues that underlie banditry.



"While our military's concerted efforts can suppress bandit activities in the short term, sustainable peace in the North-West requires comprehensive solutions that encompass socio-economic development and community engagement—an approach equally as vital as military intervention.



"The emergence of banditry in our region is symptomatic of years of neglect, marginalization, and limited access to resources. As such, President Tinubu’s military mobilization efforts should not stand in isolation; they must be accompanied by robust strategies aimed at addressing the socio-economic disparities that have contributed to this vicious cycle of violence.



"By investing in programs that empower local communities and restore faith in governance, we can mitigate the conditions that allow banditry to thrive.

"While we commend the significant strides made in the military's fight against Bello Turji and his cohorts, we urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration to adopt a holistic approach that intertwines military action with equitable socio-economic development.



"Together, these efforts will pave the way for sustainable peace and security in Nigeria’s Northwest region, ensuring that our communities flourish rather than merely survive in the shadow of violence". Shettima said.



The Forum said it stands ready to support these initiatives and is committed to fostering dialogue, peace, and development within our communities.

Jesus Christ final statement on the Calvary... It is FINALLY FINISHED for Nigeria.

A very big church RAT indeed ,

Rossikk:
Peter Obi is a multi millionaire in dollars of indeterminate source of income who was a governor and never built a single school in his eight year tenure, while refusing to pay Anambra state doctors for a whole year simply because they agitated for better pay.

A greedy multi millionaire in dollars who refused to pay poor Igbo doctors what amounted to NAIRA PEANUTS compared to his own monstrous personal wealth of tens of millions of dollars.

And then he built a massive brewery with state funds.

He is a disgrace of a person.

He is in no position to criticise the FG when he was such a hopeless, useless, corrupt and wicked governor.

Discuss.

ogbeni you are nothing but mischief maker . I pity who is funding your nuisance on social media.

commoditiesnig:
But why will Joe Ajaero attempt to leave the country when he has pending investigation on him?

I think there is more to this case than the public is aware. Comrade Joe should do well to settle all case ascribed to him.

This man is a MULTI MILLIONAIRE IN DOLLARS.

Why has he not ordered a single car from INNOSON despite all his noise about moving “from consumption to production”?

This man drives around in all kinds of posh, exotic foreign vehicles, completely ignoring cars built virtually in his own backyard by his own kinsmen!

Now he is in Rwanda posing as a social crusader.

Telling people there to move “from consumption to production”.

I’ve never seen a more hypocritical person than this man.

CyrusVI:
You wey be billionaire wey no dey collect 30k to sabotage, u dey lament pass them

If people could defend hardship with 30k stipend and you lament this much, that means you are sure living below 30k

Silly logic. U pose yourself as a big person to taunt others, then turn around to lament far more than the supposedly small people

Madman anthem. Stop constituting nuisance here on a daily basis.

According to one of the victims who was one of the candidates for the tittle taking Bar Emmanuel Ilo the event was on when the gunmen came calling adding that he managed to escape from the suspected gunmen. According to him ; Mr Peter Emerie Ilo and Chike Ilo (who are brothers to the Amakor village Chairman, Barr. Obinna Ilo), and Madueke Nwafor — were being initiated into the ọzọ society at the well-attended event, before the men stormed.

” while the event was in its climax, some armed men, some of whom covered their faces, stormed the venue, in the company of some members of the community (including former Chairman of village, Mr. Chinedu Nwankwo, and a Caretaker Committee Chairman of the village, one Mr. Ejike Nwafor), and began to ‘act’ immediately”
