In response to the recent demolitions at the Rano market, which have caused controversy among traders and the general public, the Kano State House of Assembly has called for an explanation from the chairman of the Rano Local Government Area.

During today’s plenary, Alhaji Ibrahim Muhammad Rano, the MP for Rano LGA, made an urgent motion requesting action to help the impacted businesses. He said that hundreds of traders were distressed by the demolitions, which were done without warning and threatened the region’s economic stability.

The motion was adopted by the Assembly, which also insisted that the chairman of the local government come before it to explain the rationale for the demolitions, especially in light of the difficulties the impacted community was facing.

Another gang of terrorists was confronted by forces in Zamfara State; one was killed, and the rest fled, leaving behind two motorcycles.

Terrorists in Niger State were forced to flee into the thick forest after security forces engaged them in combat in the Dakwala and Chikuba regions. After that, soldiers conducted clearance operations, destroying terrorist hideouts and reclaiming thirty-six abandoned motorcycles.

In Karunji village, Kwara State, troops stormed a known kidnapper’s hideout. The criminals left their prisoners behind and ran away when they saw the approaching forces.

Ekene Ifeanyi, a well-known IPOB/ESN commander in Delta State, was taken into custody at his hideout in the Issele Asagba Forest in the Oshimili South Local Government Area. He was found to have had a significant role in the establishment of IPOB/ESN terrorist cells in the area.

Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, the Chief of Army Staff, praised the soldiers’ tenacity after these successful operations. He acknowledged their devotion and selfless service to the nation and underlined his commitment to making sure their welfare continues to be a top concern.
