President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to defeat terrorism, banditry and other criminal activities in the country, adding that his government will not compromise in its determination to defeat ‘these enemies of humanity’

The President, on Thursday in a statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu, condemned the recent attacks in Zamfara State which led to the death of about 80 persons and the destruction of properties.

Shehu quoted the President, warning the criminal elements to “stop pushing their luck too far by believing that the government lacks the capacity to crush them.”

Buhari, describing the attack as “insane”, stated that “such wanton disregard for life will be brought to an end sooner than later.”

He added that “The violence against poor villagers who are struggling with poverty and other severe economic challenges is not going to be tolerated by this administration.”

The President, therefore, charged the securities agencies in the country to immediately “redouble their efforts in bringing an end to this mindless violence against innocent people.”

He further stated  that “Let’s not give these criminals any opportunity to succeed by taking the war to their own camps and stop them in their tracks before they even have the time to respond under our massive firepower.”

The President reassured Zamfara people that “there will be no compromise in our determination to defeat these enemies of humanity.”
