General Ajose stated that “the special operation was to ensure the total elimination of the Lakurawa sects in Sokoto and Kebbi states.

“The operation was to consolidate successes achieved in the ongoing operation under ”FOREST SANITY III CHASE LAKURAWAS OUT.”

He noted that the successes were recorded through fresh onslaughts launched against Lakurawa bandits that led to the destruction of the bandits’ camps.

Soyele further highlighted that troops were selected and trained for the mission, hence Nigerians were counting on their ability and professionalism to flush out the Lakurawas.

He charged the troops to ensure destruction of the Lakurawas sects and enjoined them to abide by the rules of engagement and ensure the protection of the lives and property of law-abiding citizens.
