 A combined team of security operatives has killed 67 gunmen suspected to be kidnappers terrorizing the Leroy communities in the Tafar-Balewa local government area of Balchi state. The team also rescued 20 kidnapped victims in the area. This is just as the state governor, Bala Mohamed, donated 30 brand-new motorcycles and the sum of 10 million are to assist the local security in the operations. The district head of Leroy, Jamil Bawa, who received the governor in his palace in Leroy town, said during the operation 20 kidnapped victims were also rescued unhurt. The monarchs, said members of the vigilante in the area were about to ready to ensure 30 bandits were completely flushed out while the remaining victims still in captivity were rescued safely. Responding, governor Mohamed said the issue of insecurity is becoming worrisome with the state but has showed that his administration would continue to be on its toes to protect the lives and property of innocent citizens. Commissioner of police and other security agencies were ensuring the rule of engagement in this exercise was stamping an authority over it and with my humble self that will continue to give you support. I want to thank the traditional institution for showing leadership and of course our vigilante who have been sleepless nights. This place is a root of the miscreants from the Northwest. My colleagues, the Northwest governors have come together to fight this coach of banditry and they are going to do it at the highest level with the support of the federal government. We are calling on the federal government to also support us. The fact that we are keeping quiet does not mean that we are all hell and hearty. We are taking the brand. As they are walking on the side of terrorism, we are getting the backlash. I will definitely make a case to the federal government, whatever support they are giving the North, my colleagues in the Northwest to come and give us here, especially my colleagues of Plato, Bauchi, Taraba and Guambe, so that we can come together and arrest this movement of criminality.
