A former media aide to ex-President Muhammad Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, on Saturday declared that Nigeria is winning the war against terrorism.
Ahmad was reacting to the killing of notorious terrorist leader, Sani Wala Burki in Katsina State.
Troops of the Nigerian military had eliminated Burki in Katsina State a few days ago.
Reacting via a post on X, the former presidential aide urged troops to increase the pressure until all terrorists are eradicated.
Bashir wrote: “Happy to read that another notorious terrorist leader, Sani Wala Burki, has also been eliminated in Katsina. Nigeria is clearly winning this war against terror.
“Let our troops increase the pressure until they’re all eradicated, so our farms can be cleared for the next farming season.”
On Thursday, troops of the Nigerian Army killed Kachallah during an operation in Zamfara State.
Same day, Halilu Sububu and his men were also killed by NAF Special Forces near the Mayanchi area of the state.
Amid these operations, the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa had vowed to bring down another notorious bandit, Turji Bello.
Recently, Turji claimed to have seized two Mine Resistance vehicles of the Nigerian Army.
But, the military said the vehicles were demobilized due to bad terrain.
