The Commander of Sector 2 Operation Hadin Kai, Major-General MLD Saraso, has commended Governor Mai Mala Buni for his continued and untiring support for troops in Yobe State.
Major-General Saraso disclosed this on the occasion of the 2023 Sector 2 OPHK Nigerian Army Social Activities (NASA), known as WASA, held at Damaturu, Yobe State Capital.
“WASA is an annual event, and it is one of the ways of keeping the customs and traditions of the Nigerian Army. It is also meant to strengthen social relationships among officers, soldiers, and their families, as well as among friends, through cultural displays, musical performances, and other regimental activities.
“It was also conceived to create an atmosphere where officers and men would meet together outside the trenches to socialize, wine, dine, and make merry, aimed at appreciating the efforts of our gallant troops for the success achieved throughout the past year within our area of responsibility.” Major-General Saraso said.
According to him, we will continue to be committed and responsive in discharging our constitutional roles in line with the command philosophy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja.
which he said is to transform the Nigerian Army into a well-trained, equipped, and highly motivated force towards achieving our constitutional responsibility within a joint environment.
He commands the Chief of Army Staff and the Theatre Commander, Operation Hadin Kai, for their commitment, support, and provision of our needs in the conduct of our counter-insurgency operation.
“We pledge to make necessary sacrifices for the betterment of our country and the citizens of the north-eastern states, especially Borno and Yobe. He said.

Family of retired teacher in Kaduna pays ransom, month after bandits killed him
By: Zagazola Makama
The family of a retired teacher and former Education Secretary of Kajuru Local Government in Kaduna State reportedly paid a ransom to his kidnappers months after he was killed.
Samuel Abi Dangiwa was abducted along with six others from Kufana village on the Kaduna-Kachia Road on Monday, 15 September 2025.
The tragic development was confirmed by a community leader and associate of the deceased, Chief Suleiman Gambo Maro, who disclosed that Dangiwa had been killed a month before his family fulfilled the ransom demands.
“The most devastating revelation, however, was that he had already been killed a month before ransom was even paid,” Maro said.
“His family, acting out of desperation and hope, unknowingly fulfilled the demands of criminals while their father lay buried beneath the earth.”
Chief Maro called for urgent action and accountability, emphasising that the unresolved murder had heightened despair in the community.
“Allowing the killing of Dangiwa to go unanswered would deepen frustration and despair among residents,” he stated.
“Kajuru deserves justice, proper representation, and restored dignity. This begins with uncovering the truth behind Dangiwa’s murder and holding those responsible accountable.”
