Addressing troops stationed in the affected areas, Yusuf pledged full government support, including welfare, logistics, and resources needed to restore peace.
“We are here in the Tsanyawa Local Government Area purposely to assess the situation as far as these security challenges are concerned and to motivate you to put in your best,” he said.
The governor visited the Joint Task Force (JTF) operational base in Tsanyawa, praising security personnel for their dedication and emphasising collaboration between security agencies and the state government.
He assured the operatives that welfare and logistics would remain a priority.
“These security challenges in Kano State are something new, something alien. By the grace of Allah, we will do whatever it takes to end these challenges, especially the activities of bandits and kidnappers. Those kidnapped will be rescued and reunited with their families,” Yusuf stated.
Brigadier-General Ahmed Tukur, commander of the 3 Brigade Nigerian Army, welcomed the governor and commended the JTF team, which includes troops from the Nigerian Army, Air Force, Police, DSS, NSCDC, and local vigilante groups.
