President Muhammadu Buhari has met behind closed-door with Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.
El-Rufai, while speaking to State House correspondents on the outcome of the meeting, said he updated Buhari on security development in Kaduna state where about 40 villagers were killed by terrorists three days ago.
The Governor, who was accompanied by the State Commissioner for Internal Security, Samuel Aruwan, stated that he asked for the intervention of the President for more deployment of security forces and comprehensive operations.
According to him, the security agencies have been overstretched as they are involved in various operations across the country, calling for urgent presidential intervention to check the activities of bandits and other criminals in Kaduna state
El-Rufai noted that there is nothing like repentant bandits and that the state’s policy is to dispatch the terrorists attacking innocent people to their creator to answer for their crimes against humanity.
The Governor also observed that care has to be taken in dealing with bandits to avoid collateral damage to innocent civilians.
