Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>As part of efforts to curtail the activities of bandits within the local areas, the Yobe State government has ordered the immediate closure of three weekly markets in Katarko, Kukareta, and Buni Yadi.<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Security Matters to the State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, Brigadier General Dahiru Abdulsalam (Rtd), it was explained that the action was to enable the government, in collaboration with security agencies, to take proactive engagements and consolidate the successes recorded in the ongoing counter-insurgency operation in the state.<\/p>\n
