President Bola Tinubu has given the military marching orders to eradicate banditry and overall instability by the end of 2025.
Abubakar Badaru, Minister of Defence, revealed this in a viral video.
Following Tinubu’s directive, Badaru stated that the military will continue its campaign against bandits and other sorts of criminality.
The Minister said bandits are currently on the run and that the military won’t stop until they are all flushed out.
According to Badaru: “The bandits are now on the run, but the military will not rest until we end this thing. The president has given us marching orders to end insecurity in every part of our country by the end of this year.
“The Chief of Defence Staff, NSA are working day and night to actualize that target, as you have seen we are putting pressure on all the theatre operations.
“And indeed, mining activities have been lifted in Zamfara already and this is part of the reason we are meeting today to look at all areas where we have serious security issues and how best we can secure those areas.”
