The Nigeria Army has extended Operation Sahel Sanity, which is fighting banditry, kidnapping and cattle rustling in the North West, to December. The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, made the disclosure at a press conference at the Army Supper Camp 4, Faskari, Katsina, on Saturday. He said that the operation was also expanded to the North Central to ensure peace in all parts of the country. He commended the host communities of Zamfara and Katsina for continued support and cooperation especially in the area of information sharing. He said that communities must be ready to expose criminals among their friends and relatives; otherwise, the consequences would get back to them.
