Tinubu Orders Military to End Banditry and Insecurity by 2025
In a decisive move to tackle Nigeria’s security challenges, President Bola Tinubu has mandated the military to eradicate banditry and related criminal activities by the end of 2025.
This directive was conveyed by Minister of Defence, Abubakar Badaru, who emphasized the military’s unwavering commitment to this mission.
Minister Badaru highlighted the intensified military operations against bandits, noting that these criminal elements are currently in retreat. He assured that the armed forces will persist in their efforts until all threats are neutralized.
“The bandits are now on the run, but the military will not rest until we end this,” Badaru stated. “The president has given us marching orders to end insecurity in every part of our country by the end of this year.”
To bolster these efforts, the Minister has called for the acquisition of an additional 50 Armored Personnel Carriers in the 2025 budget, aiming to enhance the military’s operational capabilities against banditry nationwide.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
