President Muhammadu Buhari has deployed 1000 strong military force, comprising the army, air force, police and the civil defence to launch fierce attacks on the bandits terrorising the villages and towns of Zamfara State.
Consequently, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has begun the deployment of fighter aircraft to Katsina, the airport with the closest proximity to Zamfara State for immediate and effective response to the menace of the bandits.
A statement Sunday night by presidential spokesmen, Garba Shehu, said President Buhari had also authorised the engagement by NAF, of advanced satellite surveillance technology to help in accurate detection of movement and locations of the bandits.
