The Coalition of Northern Patriots (CNP) on Friday, January 1, hailed the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai for the success of the Nigerian army's Operation Sahel Sanity.
The group in a New Year message signed by its president, Nurudeen Dodo, and seen by Legit.ng said Buratai and his troops' commitment to restoring peace have reduced crime in the northwest.
Dodo said the operation since its launch has yielded positive results and helped in bringing about the much-needed peace in the region.
He said through the operation, the army troops have engaged criminal elements in the northwest in ways too numerous to mention.

"That operation Sahel sanity has recorded tremendous success in northwest Nigeria indicates the laudable efforts of the Nigerian army in internal security operations in Nigeria."

He said:
"The Coalition of Northern Patriots states in unequivocal terms that Operation Sahel Sanity is a huge success. It has contributed immensely in reducing the activities of armed bandits in the region."
