The Commander of 6 Brigade Nigerian Army and Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, has praised the troops of 6 Brigade for their dedication and bravery in the ongoing Operation Lafiyan Jamaa.
In a statement, Acting Assistant Director Army Public Relations, 6 Brigade Nigerian Army Captain Olubodunde Oni said the operation, launched across the 16 Local Government Areas of Taraba State, aims to dismantle bandit networks infiltrating the state from neighboring regions and restore peace and security. It seeks to enable residents to engage in farming activities without fear during both the dry and rainy seasons.
General Uwa gave the commendation today while addressing troops at Andami in Karim Lamido Local Government Area after a successful clearance operation targeting multiple bandit hideouts in Komodoro, Ginarunbu, Chibi, Chikum, Bitriklin, Mashigi Kirya, Jamaga, and Wagal villages. Several abandoned bandit camps were discovered and destroyed during the operations, significantly disrupting criminal activities in the area.
The Commander commended the troops’ resilience and urged them to sustain the momentum against banditry, kidnapping, and other crimes. “The successes recorded so far are a testament to your dedication and professionalism. However, we must not relent. We must remain vigilant, decisive, and proactive in ensuring that Taraba State remains unsafe for criminals,” he charged the troops.
The Nigerian Army remains committed to restoring lasting peace and stability in Taraba and beyond, working tirelessly to protect lives and property. The public is encouraged to support security agencies by providing credible information to aid ongoing operations.
