365Daily – President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the military and other security agencies to crush bandits.
He was reacting on Saturday, July 10, 2021, to repeated wanton killings of innocent Nigerians in Kaduna and Zamfara States.
In a press statement signed by his Media Aide, Garba Shehu, the President “urged the nation’s military to respond to the worrying situation in a language that the bandits understand.”
Shehu said Buhari noted that the military and other security agencies were working on new methods and policies that are yielding good results in many of the troubled parts of the country and called “for a crushing response to the killing of innocent citizens in the rural communities.”
The statement added that the President averred “that the nation, its military and the entire population needs to summon the courage required to defeat the bandits and terrorists.
“President Buhari condemns 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.
“He expresses the nation’s sorrow over the loss of lives, urging security agencies to do everything possible to prevent the recurrence of attacks with impunity.”
