Insecurity: Group Seeks Revival Of ‘Operation Yaki’ In Kaduna

A group under the auspices of the Network of Peace Journalists has urged Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani to revive “Operation Yaki” to combat security challenges bedevilling the state.

The group’s national president, Ibrahima Yakubu, made the call in a statement that was issued in Kaduna on Sunday.

He said, “Reviving ‘Operation Yaki’ is crucial in addressing internal security challenges in the State, just like the approach employed during the tenure of the former governor, and the vice president of Nigeria Namadi Mohammed Sambo.

“Empowering ‘Operation Yaki’ would significantly reduce the activities of phone snatchers, The ‘Yan Sara-Soka group, ethno-religious attacks and other forms of security threats that undermine peace and unity within the state.

“During the tenure of Architect Namadi Sambo, who later became the Vice President of Nigeria, Kaduna State saw helicopters and new police cars actively patrolling our communities, day and night.”

Yakubu also commended the efforts of the military and paramilitary forces in the State, while encouraging affluent individuals to support the government by providing essential resources and tools.
