The Concerned Citizens of Jibia Local Government Area (CCJ) in Katsina State have lauded the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, for the successful operation that led to the elimination of notorious bandit leader Abu Saleh and his group.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Muhammad Magayaki, the CCJ attributed the breakthrough to the minister’s proactive leadership and a visit to Sokoto in September that invigorated military operations across the region.

“This remarkable achievement highlights the unwavering dedication of the Nigerian Armed Forces under the directives of Honourable Bello Matawalle,” the statement read. “We commend the courage and resilience of our minister and pray for Almighty God to continue guiding and strengthening him in his mission to eradicate criminal elements.”

The CCJ highlighted the minister’s role in directing intensified security efforts across Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Zamfara, and Niger states, emphasizing his clear mandate to neutralize bandit groups before the year ends. According to the group, these efforts have led to the elimination of approximately 80% of notorious bandits in the region.

Magayaki also praised Matawalle’s decision to visit forests and other high-risk areas personally, a move that has inspired frontline troops and improved operational outcomes. “This hands-on approach marks a turning point in the fight against banditry and demonstrates the Minister’s exceptional commitment to restoring peace and security in affected regions,” he said.

The CCJ described the minister’s leadership style as unprecedented and called on the Nigerian Army and other security agencies to maintain their momentum in ongoing operations. The group expressed confidence in Matawalle’s ability to restore lasting peace to the region, citing his resolute stance and direct involvement in security affairs.

The commendation comes amid intensified government efforts to combat banditry, which has plagued northwestern Nigeria for years. These efforts, which include ground and aerial operations, have reportedly weakened bandit networks, creating optimism among affected communities.

The elimination of Abu Saleh, who was accused of leading violent raids and kidnappings, is seen as a significant victory in the campaign against banditry. His death is expected to disrupt the operations of his faction and deter other criminal elements in the region.

The CCJ reaffirmed its support for the minister and the Nigerian Armed Forces, urging them to sustain the current momentum and ensure that peace is fully restored in Katsina State and other affected areas.

As the year draws to a close, the group expressed hope that the minister’s vision of a bandit-free northwest will soon become a reality, marking a significant milestone in Nigeria’s fight against insecurity.
