“We are all aware of the trending terrorism, kidnapping, armed banditry, insurgency and other forms of security challenges in various parts of the country. This hampers peace and economic development, we must therefore brace up to our responsibilities as professionally trained personnel to nib these menace in the bud.
“The NAFRC will continue to cooperate with the NAF and other sister services and security agencies to ensure peace and tranquillity reign within our area of responsibility,” the commandant said.
