Give Terrorists, Criminals No Breathing Space – Buhari Tells Military

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Nigerian military and other security services to pursue terrorists and bandits across the country and deny them any breathing space.

According to Buhari, the federal government’s unwavering commitment to fighting the war on terror and criminality should give the defense and security services peace of mind.

Buhari made the remarks during an official visit to the Maimalari Cantonment in Borno State, where he met with members of the Armed Forces and security agencies involved in Operation HADIN KAI.

Garba Shehu, Buhari’s spokesman, quoted Buhari in a press statement.

He said: “I am delighted to be with you this afternoon, to address you on this special occasion of my official visit to Borno State.

“I commend you and remember all the personnel who have paid the supreme sacrifice in ensuring that Nigeria remains an indivisible and secure entity.

“Your collective efforts have resulted in the relative peace being enjoyed in the region today. Under my watch, the Armed Forces of Nigeria have been provided a firm strategy and clear sense of direction to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.

“We should not allow our adversaries the opportunity or breathing space to challenge or undermine our national interests and core values. The defence and security agencies should rest assured of the Federal Government’s unalloyed commitment to winning the battle against terror and criminality.” he added.
