WIPE OUT CRIMINALITY! President Buhari gives security agencies new order
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Gusau, Zamfara State, ordered security agencies to improve their strategies of intelligence gathering, surveillance and accuracy in deployments.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
The president also ordered security agencies to ensure that criminal activities are brought to an end across the country.
Buhari who was accompanied by Governor Abdul’aziz Yari, in an interactive meeting with political leaders, traditional rulers, elders and victims of criminal attacks in the state, assured all security agencies of improved conditions that will facilitate apprehending criminals that steal, maim and kill innocent Nigerians.
Buhari said,
“As far as I am concerned, our security agencies have recorded some successes, but they need to do much more. They are not to oppress anyone, but they have to gather and send intelligence and warnings when something is about to happen.’’
The president commended the security agencies for eliminating a dreadful criminal, “Buhari general’’, who had for many years initiated killings and destruction of properties.
“Before “Buharin-daji”, who calls himself a general, there was a criminal who killed many people and he was killed; “Buharin–daji’’ has followed him and others like them should also follow.’’
President Buhari said the threats to lives and properties will be significantly reduced with improved relations among community leaders, citizens and the security agencies.
He said,
“I have come here to commiserate with you over loss of lives and properties. We will continue to do our best to improve the security situation. However, those committing atrocities live with you. Some of these people are not reported because you don’t trust the security outfits, instead you report back to the criminals. We should give priority to security.”
