President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said this in a video he
posted on his Facebook wall.
Adesina, who expressed confidence
in the operation said, “The exercise that the Nigerian Army called ‘Operation
Cat Race’ had been announced and it takes off later this week in the
North-central zone.
“It is expected that this would
bring under control, to a large extent, the issues of farmers and herdsmen
crisis and other ancillary security challenges in that zone.”
He also spoke on the Security
Council meeting between Buhari and his security chiefs.
Adesina said issues considered
include the “farmers-herdsmen, arm banditry, cattle rustling and anything that
constitutes security challenge.”
Nigerian Army had last week
disclosed that Operation Cat Race would run from February 15 to March 31 in
Benue, Taraba, Kogi, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Niger states.
