- Buhari reassured residents of the state of his administration’s determination to defeat the enemies, despite the latest setback.
President Muhammadu Buhari has read the riot act to bandits, warning them that his government will no longer stand idly and watch criminals unleash terror on hapless and impoverished citizens.
Buhari issued the warning while reacting to the killing of 51 persons in Zamfara by bandits.
Ekohotblog had reported how 51 people were killed in attacks on Gobirawa, Rini, Gora, and Madoti Dankule in Bakura and Maradun LGAs in Zamfara — the death toll has since risen.
Reacting to the development, Buhari said his his administration has the capacity to annihilate the bandits.
Buhari described the killing as “insane” noting that “such persistent violence against innocent people must stop”.

He added that “such wanton disregard for life will be brought to an end sooner than later”.
“These criminals should stop pushing their luck too far by believing that the government lacks the capacity to crush them,” the president was quoted to have said in a statement by Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, on Thursday.
“The violence against poor villagers who are struggling with poverty and other severe economic challenges is not going to be tolerated by this administration.”
The president ordered security agencies to block existing loopholes in their operations while expressing hope that the special operation launched by security agencies will prove decisive in ridding the state of the “frequent and horrifying” bandit activities.
