President Muhammadu Buhari has 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 disclosed this in a statement signed by his media adviser, Garba Shehu on Saturday.
Over 40 villagers were murdered in Zamfara State on Thursday.
The President said the military and other security agencies are now 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 rural communities.
He also said 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.
