The Arewa Crusaders Against Banditry (ACAB) has hailed the chief of army staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, and troops of the Nigerian army for the rapid success recorded through operation Sahel sanity in the northwest.
The group said the army has exceeded residents' expectations and returned normalcy to the once-troubled northwest region, particularly in Zamfara and Sokoto States.
Speaking on the launch of army's Operation Sahel Sanity which took place in July, the leader of the ACAB, Idris Gambo, said the exercise is already yielding results with hundreds of bandits killed and many others injured or captured.
Gambo said the north and Arewa community is proud of Buratai and troops' modest achievements within a short period.
"Our appreciation also goes to the troops that have been dedicated and steadfast in the trenches, ensuring that the enemies of Nigeria are not allowed to disrupt the peace of the country through their nefarious activities," Gambo said.

Also commending residents of Zamfara and Sokoto states for supporting the army in its quest to rid their states of bandits and other criminal elements, Gambo said the successes recorded by the operation should serve as a wakeup call to other states on the need for synergy.
The group, however, called on Nigerians to continue to show solidarity with the COAS and the troops in their various operations across the country.
"The Arewa Crusaders Against Banditry wishes to state that it is not yet Uhuru, as the task before us requires continued cooperation from all and sundry in northwest Nigeria as well as other parts of the country," he said.
