President Muhammadu Buhari says
bandits are currently on a “ticking clock”, as they will soon be “destroyed”.
The president said this in
reaction to the killing of over 30 people in Goronyo LGA of Sokoto state.
Gunmen were said to have attacked
a market in area, between Sunday and Monday.
In a statement on Monday, Garba
Shehu, presidential spokesman, quoted Buhari as saying the gunmen will soon no
longer have a place to hide.
“The clock of your ultimate destruction is
ticking, as you will no longer have a place to hide,” the commander-in-chief
said.
“The(se) bandits are currently
under desperate pressure because of the intense and sustained air and ground
operations against them in their hideouts by our security forces.
“The cowardly attacks on innocent
people by the bandits show a rearguard action of criminals under pressure. But
they will have no place to hide and our gallant security forces will not relent
in the current offensive to defeat these callous enemies of humanity.”
The president said his
administration is determined “more than ever before to protect Nigerians from
murderous criminal gangs that have no respect for the sanctity of life”.
He urged Nigerians to be patient
as security agencies work to improve safety across the country.
