Governor Nasir noted that the ongoing operation was aimed at flushing out the bandits in their different hideouts, saying, we are concerned about the safety of our children who might be attacked by the angry bandits.
Adding that, he urged communities to be vigilant as the fleeing bandits might infiltrate their communities.
Speaking during the visit, the NMA state chairman, Dr Aliyu Sokomba asked the Federal Government to licence the use of firearms to its citizens.
He noted this was necessary in order to allow the people to protect themselves from being attack by the bandits.
