President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Nigeria’s security chiefs to identify bandits, kidnappers and their sponsors and take them out.

This is even as he has warned them that a situation where bandits and kidnappers are dictating the pace in the fight against insecurity will no longer be tolerated.

The National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno (retd), who briefed State House Correspondents at the meeting of security 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 achieved.

The NSA added that President Buhari also insisted that all the decisions approved at the National Security Council meeting last month including a ban on mining activities in Zamfara as well as no fly zone remains enforced until further notice to curb the rising insecurity in the state.
