President Muhammadu Buhari Saturday 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 understand.
The President, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu and copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER, noted that the military and other security agencies were now working on new methods and policies that were 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.
According Shehu, the President also averred that the nation, its military and the entire population needed to summon the courage required to defeat the bandits and terrorists.
President Buhari 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.
He 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.
