President Muhammadu Buhari has authorised a major military operation to sweep bandits and kidnappers out of Katsina State.

The presidency, yesterday, said a major proactive operation by special forces, which details are being kept secret, is already in progress to replace the reactive strikes against insurgent camps.

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Malam Garba Shehu, noted: “To give a full effect to the exercise, a planning team is already in the state selecting targets and making preparations for the execution of the unprecedented operation.”
