President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the armed forces in the country to wipe out terrorists, bandits and other ‘enemies’ of the country from the surface of the earth with immediate effect in order to bring lasting peace to the country and the African continent in general.
The president who gave the directive on Thursday while speaking during the graduation ceremony of the Senior Course 44 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, Kaduna State, vowed that the masterminds of the recent Kuje Prison Attack and other attacks across the country must not be allowed to go free, but must be sent to their creator.

He lamented that recent attacks by terrorists and bandits in different parts of the country, bear the hallmark of national and trans-border insurgency which is a threat trying to wreak havoc in Nigeria as well as in neighbouring countries, one which must be quashed once and for all.
President Buhari celebrated the sacrifices and successes of the Nigerian military in defending the country courageously.
The president pledged that his government would continue to provide the needed support required to wipe out terrorists and insurgents ‘off the face of the earth.’
‘The Armed Forces of Nigeria are working tirelessly to enhance their combat effectiveness, operational capability and training necessary to eliminate the threats, in synergy with other institutions and nations.
‘‘The response of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to the Boko Haram insurgency, banditry, militancy, kidnapping as well as the activities of separatists and armed militias amongst others have been commendable.
‘‘This government will continue to provide the required guidance and support to ensure that the desired results are achieved,’ he said.
Africa Daily News, New York reports that many Nigerians have often called out President Buhari over the failure of his government to secure the lives of Nigerians.
