President Bola Tinubu has directed the military to eliminate banditry and general insecurity by the end of 2025.
The Minister of Defence, Abubakar Badaru, revealed that bandits are currently fleeing and assured that the military will continue their efforts until all bandits are defeated.
“The bandits are now on the run, but the military will not rest until we end this thing. The president has given us marching orders to end insecurity in every part of our country by the end of this year.” Badaru said
“The Chief of Defence Staff, NSA are working day and night to actualize that target, as you have seen we are putting pressure on all the theatre operations.
“And indeed, mining activities have been lifted in Zamfara already and this is part of the reason we are meeting today to look at all areas where we have serious security issues and how best we can secure those areas.”
