President Muhammadu Buhari has again expressed displeasure
over the spate of insecurity in the country, especially the north, where
incidents of banditary and kidnapping has heightened.
Buhari who seized the opportunity of his visit to Sokoto
State to commission an indigenously owned cement production factory, told the
Sultan of Sokoto Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, whom he also paid a condolence
visit, that he has given specific instructions to the Nigerian military to deal
decisively with bandits terrorising the region.
At the palace of the Sultan of Sokoto, President Buhari
said: “I gave them specific orders not to spare any bandit or terrorist
threatening the lives and property of innocent Nigerians.”
Recall that in the outgone year 2021, activities of bandits
and kidnappers became common in Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara, such that a good
number of citizens were abducted in demand for ransom payment.
In Sokoto State in particular, over 30 travellers were
reported to have fallen victims, with many meeting their untimely death and
others kidnapped.
While commiserating with the Government and people of the
state over the recent loss of lives and property as a result of outrageous
attacks by bandits and other criminal gangs, Buhari assured the people that he
remains unrelenting in his resolve to put an end to the heinous criminal
activities in the state and other parts of the country.
Before departing for Abuja, Buhari penned down some messages
in the condolence register, “My condolences to the Sultanate, the Government,
and people of Sokoto State over the recent mindless killings by bandits and
terrorists.
“Nigeria shall win the battle over evil,” he wrote.
