By Modupe Shodeinde
President Muhammadu Buhari has urged security forces to heighten their efforts towards bringing an end to mindless killing and violence against innocent people.
The president in reaction to the latest killing of tens of people by bandits in Zamfara State, warned that “such wanton disregard for life will be brought to an end sooner than later.”
He stated that the persistent violence against innocent people must cease, adding that “these criminals should stop pushing their luck too far by believing that the government lacks the capacity to crush them.”
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu last night said that Buhari has directed the military, security and intelligence agencies to take immediate steps to close all existing gaps in their operations being exploited by criminals to wreak havoc.
He hoped the Special Operation launched by the military at 3:00 am on Thursday from Maru Local Government area will be instrumental in ridding the state of the incessant bandit activities.
Buhari warned that his administration will not tolerate violence against poor villagers who are struggling with poverty and other severe economic challenges.
“Let’s not give these criminals any opportunity to succeed by taking the war to their own camps and stop them in their tracks before they even have the time to respond under our massive firepower.” he added
President Buhari reassured the people of Zamfara State that, “despite the latest set back in our efforts to protect our citizens, there will be no compromise in our determination to defeat these enemies of humanity.”
