Minister of State for Defence, Dr Muhammed Bello Matawalle, on Friday showed solidarity with security agents along the Abuja-Kaduna highway.
While he was on his way to Kaduna from Abuja, Matawalle
spotted people gathered in clusters alongside Armed Forces personnel. He promptly instructed his convoy to stop, allowing him to assess the situation.
He disembarked and entered the community near the Rijana Forward Operational Base, where he witnessed the aftermath of a successful operation against bandits.
The Armed Forces had just recovered rustled cows, which were being temporarily held at a local school for onward transmission to the Kaduna State Government.
Matawalle commended their resilience and praised the security agents for their bravery. He also addressed the military men, the Police DPO, and other security agents present, charging them to continue protecting Nigerians with unwavering dedication.
