President Muhammadu Buhari has
ordered security agencies to deal ruthlessly with kidnappers across the
country.
The president also directed them
to check activities of “bandits terrorising” Zamfara state and its environs.
He gave the order at a two-hour
meeting he had with the service chiefs and other heads of security agencies at
the presidential villa, Abuja.
Abayomi Olonishakin, chief of
defence staff, disclosed this to state house correspondents.
“The security meeting we just had
with Mr. President today (Thursday) is to review the strategy that we are adopting
in confronting security issues in Zamfara State especially and other places
nationwide,” he said.
“And this review strategy is to
address all the issues including kidnapping, banditry and other associated
issues confronting the nation and we are coming out with a revised strategy to
handle those challenges.”
Asked if they were given marching
order by the President over the increasing rate of insecurity in the country,
Olonisakin said, “Yeah, the marching order is for us to deal with this issue
immediately and ruthlessly and ensure that all those bandits are immediately
dealt with and all those issues that are bordering on our security are properly
addressed.”
