President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the nation’s security chiefs to identify bandits, kidnappers, and their sponsors and take them out.
This is even as he warned them that a situation where bandits and kidnappers are dictating the pace in the fight against insecurity will no longer be tolerated.
National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno (rtd), who briefed State House Correspondents at the end of a meeting with security chiefs, quoted Buhari as saying that a situation where the armed forces are reactionary rather than being proactive will no longer be tolerated.

Major-General Monguno also said President Buhari insisted that all decisions taken at the National Security Council meeting last month including a ban on mining activities in Zamfara State as well as the no-fly zone imposed remain in place.
