Commander of 3 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Bamidele Ali-Alabi says the military is prepared to protect Kano and Jigawa states against banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other acts of terrorism.
Ali-Alabi said this while receiving the executive members of the Correspondents Chapel, Kano state chapter of Nigerian Union of Journalists NUJ in his office.
According to him, the military is combat-ready to deal with bandits perpetrating criminal activities in neighbouring states of Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna and Sokoto that may plan to infiltrate Kano.
The Commander, however, underscored the role of the media in preserving peace and order in society.
He said the military recognised such roles and would always want to work in synergy with the media to ensure peaceful and crime-free society.
He commended journalists in Kano for their high sense of professionalism.
The Chairman of the chapel, Ibrahim Garba-Shuaibu, said members visited the brigade to renew the existing cordial relationship between the military and working journalists in Kano.:\/\/[�y4,�’
