President Bola Tinubu has ordered the deployment of an army battalion to Kaiama Local Government Area, Kwara State, following Boko Haram terrorists overnight theat left tens of villagers dead. He stressed that the new military command will spearhead “Operation Savannah Shield” to checkmate the barbaric terrorists and protect defenceless communities.
According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu expressed rage that the attackers killed the community members who rejected their obnoxious attempt at indoctrination, choosing instead to practice Islam that is neither extreme nor violent.
“It’s commendable that the community members, even though Muslims, refused to be conscripted into a weird belief that promoted violence over peace and dialogue,” he said.
However, the President call for collaboration between federal and state agencies to provide succour to members of the community and ensure those behind the atrocities do not go scot-free.
