APC Chieftain, Alhaji YISA OMOADE Commends President Tinubu's Bold Move As Full Army Brigade Deployed to Combat Kidnappers, Bandits in Kwara State

In a groundbreaking initiative to enhance security in Kwara State, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the deployment of a full Nigerian Army brigade, equipped with heavy military gear, to combat the rising tide of kidnapping, banditry, and violent crime afflicting the region. This move is a significant escalation in the fight against criminal elements, particularly in areas long plagued by insecurity. The deployment signals a strong commitment from Tinubu’s administration to safeguard the lives and properties of citizens, and restore peace in communities that have endured unrelenting threats from armed groups.

APC Chieftain Alhaji Ismail Adebayo Yisa, widely known as OMO-ADE, has praised President Tinubu for his decisive action in sending military forces to the outskirts and borders of Kwara State. Emphasizing the importance of leadership that prioritizes citizen safety, OMO-ADE expressed optimism that the professionalism of the Nigerian troops would effectively flush out bandits hiding in dense forests. He underscored that such interventions are crucial not only for immediate security but also for the long-term stability of the region.

The military operation, dubbed "Operation Fasan Yanma," specifically targets criminal hideouts in Ifelodun, Edu, and Patigi local government areas, which have become notorious for harboring kidnappers. Security experts have noted that this is one of the most robust military responses in Kwara’s history, showcasing a proactive stance against crime. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq also commended the swift execution of the plan, labeling it a transformative step that demonstrates Tinubu’s commitment to decisive governance focused on tangible results.

The synergy between federal and state security agencies has been highlighted as a critical aspect of this military intervention. Analysts believe that Tinubu’s administration is establishing a new paradigm in security operations, marked by collaboration that allows for more effective responses to threats. This coordinated approach not only aims to dismantle existing criminal strongholds but also to restore confidence among residents that their safety is a top priority for the government.

However, Governor AbdulRazaq has assured the public of his administration’s unwavering support for the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services, and Police as they carry out these vital operations. His promises of restored peace and security resonate with citizens, fostering a renewed hope that communities will no longer be at the mercy of kidnappers and bandits. With President Tinubu’s decisive actions, it is clear that the message is loud and clear: no criminal enclave is safe, and every Nigerian community deserves protection.
