The Committee describes the operation as proof of renewed professionalism and joint resolve to degrade banditry and terrorism in the North-West.
In a statement signed by its Chairman , Senator Abdulaziz Yaradua on Tuesday extends condolences to the family of the late Maj Gen Abubakar and pray for the wife’s quick recovery as she receives treatment.
