The North-West Youths for Peace and Development on Wednesday welcomed the renewed onslaught against Turji Bello and other bandits in the region.
The group in a press release said people in the region should show appreciation to the Armed Forces of Nigeria for its relentless efforts to tackle the activities of Bello and other bandits.
The press release signed by Salihu Bello, the Groups Coordinator lamented that the activities of the bandits have turned life upside down in the region, paralysing economic and social life.
The North-West Youths for Peace and Development solicited support for the AFN to fully restore peace and order in the Northwest.
According to the group, “While Region are discussing how to advance economically, here we are dealing with Forces of retrogression, people who don’t want our region to advance.
“Unfortunately they are our people. How did we get to this situation? Who are the people directly or indirectly supporting them?
“The North-West Youths for Peace and Development commend the General Chris Musa led Armed Forces of Nigeria for what is been done to restore peace in our region.
“We once more appeal to our people to support the military for us to come out of this quagmire!,” the group added.
