Again, President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to flush out bandits, whom he has described as terrorists ravaging the country’s North-West region.
He said the government has already taken steps in that direction, perhaps with Wednesday’s gazetting of bandits as terrorists.
Buhari made the comment during an exclusive interview with Channels Television aired on Wednesday evening.
“So, I think the only language they understand – we have discussed it thoroughly with the law enforcement agencies; the security chiefs, the Inspector General of Police – is to go after them; the terrorists.
“We labelled them terrorists; and we are going to deal with them as such,” he vowed.
President Buhari, however, lamented why people, who share similar culture, would go against each other.
He said there have been successes in the fight against banditry in the region.
He noted that he has had a series of meetings with heads of security agencies in a bid to tackle the issues headlong.
“And I believe if you go to those constituencies in the North-West and North-Central in the last four weeks, there are improvements in the security,” Buhari enthused.
