Buhari in Zamfara orders security agencies to wipe out criminality

President Muhammadu Buhari has directed security agencies to improve their strategies of intelligence gathering, surveillance and accuracy in deployments, and ensure that criminal activities are brought to an end across the country.

Speaking on Thursday in an interactive meeting with political leaders, traditional rulers, elders and victims of criminal attacks in Gusau, Zamfara State, he assured all security agencies of improved conditions that will facilitate apprehending criminals that steal, maim and kill innocent Nigerians.

“As far as I am concerned, our security agencies have recorded some successes, but they need to do much more. They are not to oppress anyone, but they have to gather and send intelligence and warnings when something is about to happen,’’ he said.
