President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the killing of 15 people in Goronyo and Illela Local Government Areas of Sokoto state.
The
President in a statement released by his media aide Garba Shehu on Tuesday
November 16, noted that the military is deploying advanced technology to crush
the bandits carrying out the attacks.
Buhari
stated that his administration will not tolerate this state of affairs where
criminals deprive the people of their means of livelihoods and turn them into
beggars and refugees.
The
statement read;
“This
persistent and unprovoked violence against unarmed civilians must be met with
fierce response by the government.
“Let me
once again, reassure Nigerians, that this administration will not abandon them
to their fate in the face of this existential challenge caused by banditry.
“We are
taking delivery of military equipment to improve the capacity of our security
forces to effectively deal with this issue.
“Our
military is also deploying advanced technology to enhance surveillance and
related operations to locate and crush these criminals and enemies of our
common humanity.
“This
administration will not tolerate this state of affairs where criminals deprive
the people of their means of livelihoods and turn them into beggars and
refugees.
“The
bandits are living in a fool’s paradise if they believe that they can’t be
crushed. The criminals cannot be lucky always; they will ultimately meet their
Waterloo.
“Evil
cannot triumph over good no matter how long it takes.”
