Buhari Promises To End Banditry

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to put security mechanisms in place to get hold of those using the name of God to kill others and commit other heinous act, stressing that such act is ungodly and ridiculous to the  name of God. 

President Buhari noted the Nigerian Army and Police will soon end the menace of banditry and kidnappings prevalent in some parts of the country

He made this known during his visit to Batsari, Katsina State, on Wednesday, where he sympathized with 1,050 internally displaced persons, IDP, selected from the affected eight frontline local government areas, promising to fight insecurity to a standstill

He, however, vowed to put security mechanisms in place that would lead to the arrest of  perpetrators of banditry and kidnapping attacks so that they can face the wrath of God,  stressing that those killing and shouting “Allah Akbar” are lying because God is not wicked.

According to him, “What brought me here is to condole you over the recent bandit’s attacks affecting not only you but all of us. I have nothing to add on what the Emir had already spoken extensively about, but all that leaders should do right from home is ensure justice.

‘’I assure you that we sleep and wake-up with the sad moment of banditry and kidnapping activities in the state and country. By the Grace of God, we will use soldiers, police and other public servants to end banditry.

‘’All those whose activities is to kill people and saying “Allahu Akbar” are lying because God is not wicked. You can’t carry bomb or gun, sword or knife to go and kill innocent somebody and say “Allahu Akbar”. This implies that you either don’t believe in God or you don’t know what you are saying.

‘’There is popular Hausa adage that says” it’s the rat in the house that tells the rat outside that there is fish in the house, so within yourselves, your neighbours and even your relatives there are informants.’’

‘’So in this case, both you and I don’t know them, it’s only God that knows them, we can’t do anything here rather intensity prayers for God’s intervention by exposing them.”
