The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has expressed their appreciation for the Nigerian troops’ recent accomplishments in eliminating notorious bandit leaders causing unrest in Northern Nigerian states.

The CNG acknowledges the significant contributions of the Chiefs of Army staff, the Directorate of Security Services, and the Office of the National Security Adviser to the success of the operation.

National Coordinator Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, in a statement signed on Monday, commended the military’s efforts in rescuing four victims abducted from the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma in Katsina State.

The CNG calls for intensified efforts to rescue the kidnapped female students of the Federal University, Gusau, and others currently in captivity.

“The bandit leaders, namely Machika, Haro, Dan Muhammadu, and Ali Alhaji Alheri, have been responsible for multiple deadly attacks, including killings, kidnappings, and displacements in Zamfara, Niger, Kaduna, and Katsina states.

“ Ali Alhaji Alheri, also known as Kachalla Ali Kawaje, was believed to be behind the attack on the Kaduna-Abuja train and the kidnapping of hundreds of passengers.

“He was also the mastermind of the attack and abductions of students of the Gusau University,” Charanchi said.

The CNG emphasizes the importance of neutralizing these bandit leaders for the security and well-being of the people in the region.

They express gratitude to the Nigerian troops for their dedication and commitment to safeguarding lives and properties.

The organization urges close collaboration among various branches of the armed forces for a multifaceted approach involving the army, airforce, navy, and other security agencies.
