The presidency has expressed deep sadness and regret over the latest bandits attack in Kaduna State that killed several people and left many injured.
From reports received, the Presidency said, it was obvious that the bandits were unleashing their fury and frustration on innocent people because of the ongoing military and police offensive against them in Birnin Gwari and Kaduru forests.
The Presidency said the government would not be blackmailed by criminals to abandon the current military operations against them.
President Buhari, it was said, assured the people of Kaduna State and other parts of the country that the government would continue to deploy all available resources to fight the cold-hearted bandits with a view to bringing them to their knees.
It stressed that the criminals should make no mistake that they could establish a reign of terror on the people without feeling the full might of the government which was elected to protect the citizens.
The president, while expressing profound commiserations to the victims of the heinous attack in Kaduna State, was quoted as sending a strong warning to the killers.
His words: “The criminals cannot be lucky always; we are determined to frustrate and defeat them, and no matter how long they run or where they hide, they would be smoked out and brought to justice.”
