Zamfara Massacre: Bandits Will Be History Soon – Buhari  

President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed that bandits and other criminals killing innocent citizens in Zamfara and other parts of the North West geopolitical zone of the country, will soon become history.

President Buhari, who stated while expressing outrage over several villagers that were massacred by bandits in Zamfara State, said that the Federal Government is not going to relent in the current military operations to get rid of the thugs who have been terrorising innocent people.

He said that the latest attacks on innocent people by the bandits is an act of desperation by mass murderers, now under relentless pressure from our military forces who are well equipped to effectively confront the enemies of humanity.

In the words of the President; “In keeping with my commitment to tackle the monster of terrorism head on, let me reassure these besieged communities and other Nigerians that this government will not abandon them to their fate because we are more than ever determined to get rid of these outlaws.

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu said that Buhari appealed to the affected communities for patience saying; “we are fiercely determined to smoke out and destroy these outlaws who have no regard for the sanctity of life”.

While extending his sympathy to the survivors and families of those killed, Buhari said that the Nigerian Army and the Air Force are working together to get rid of the callous criminals as they acquire more equipment to track down and eliminate criminal gangs that are subjecting innocent people to the reign of terror, including illegal imposition of taxes on the communities under siege.
