President Muhammadu Buhari’s orders to the nation’s security chiefs appear not to have yielded the desired results, as insecurity continues in parts of the country.
The President’s Riot Acts to the top security chiefs is as regular as the Security Council meetings held every week at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Yet, Nigerians in some states including Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Rivers, among others are battling with the menace of kidnapping, banditry and cultism.
The President, at a Security Council meeting, ordered them to be brutal with criminals and end banditry and kidnapping in the country.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, who made the announcement after the meeting, said the President ordered them to deal ruthlessly with bandits and kidnappers.
He said the security meeting was to review the strategy that we are adopting in confronting security issues in Zamfara State especially, and other places nationwide.
