Following the recent upsurge in attacks and killings by bandits in Zamfara and Kaduna states, President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the military to crush bandits operating in the two states in the language they understand.
The president condemned repeated bandit killings in Zamfara and Kaduna States, urging the nation’s military to respond to the worrying situation in a language that the bandits understood.
Buhari, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the military and other security agencies were now working on new methods and policies that are yielding good results in many of the troubled parts of the country.
He called for a crushing response to the killing of innocent citizens in the rural communities.
Buhari also averred that the nation, its military and the entire population needed to summon the courage required to defeat the bandits and terrorists.
He condemned some politicians making utterances on security, merely seeking applause, advising them to join the ongoing genuine efforts aimed at finding lasting solutions to the challenges confronting the nation.
The president expressed the nation’s sorrow over the loss of lives, urging security agencies to do everything possible to prevent the recurrence of attacks with impunity.
