President Muhammadu Buhari, has stated that the armed Fulani bandits causing havoc in the North-West region of the country, are living in fool’s paradise,
In a statement on Monday, the Senior Special Adviser to the President, on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said that President Buhari was reacting to the killing of over 30 people in Goronyo, Sokoto State, on Sunday, by the Fulani bandits.
President Buhari stated that the days of the bandits are indeed numbered, because the Military capabilities of the Armed Forces are being boosted by the acquisition and deployment of advanced equipment.
His exact words: “The bandits are living in fool’s paradise of invincibility, but reality will soon dawn on them harder than ever before.
”The bandits are currently under desperate pressures, because of the intense and sustained air and ground operations against them in their hideouts by our Security Forces.
“The cowardly attacks on innocent people by the bandits show a rearguard action of criminals under pressure.
”But they will have no place to hide and our gallant Security Forces will not relent in the current offensive to defeat these callous enemies of humanity.”
He appealed to all Nigerians “not to despair, because this 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, and called on the people to continue to be patient, “as the Military strategises on how to deliver the crushing blow to these bandits”.
