According to Buhari, the days of the bandits are numbered as Nigeria boosts the capabilities of its military forces with the acquisition and deployment of advanced equipment.
The President said the bandits are living in the fool’s paradise of invincibility, stressing that reality will soon dawn on them harder than ever before.
President Buhari in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu noted that the bandits are currently under desperate pressures as a result of the intense and sustained air and ground operations against them in their hideouts by the security forces.
He appealed to all Nigerians not to despair because his administration is determined more than ever before to protect Nigerians from murderous criminal gangs that have no respect for the sanctity human of life.
The President extended his sympathy to the families of the victims of the Goronyo attack while calling on the people to continue to be patient as the military strategises on how to deliver the crushing blow to the bandits.
