Completely Eliminate Terrorists, Buhari Tells Security Agencies

President Muhammadu Buhari has called on security agencies to take the fight to terrorists’ hideouts and ensure they are “completely eliminated”. 

He gave the directive in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital at an event to mark World Humanitarian Day.

”The Men and Officers of Operation Lafiya Dole, Security Agencies, and the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) are very much appreciated for their commitment to the fight against insurgency,” presidential aide, Femi Adesina, quoted his principal as saying.

In Borno, the President directed the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and its agencies to ensure the unimpeded return of Internally Displaced Persons in the North-East.

He also virtually commissioned a 500-unit housing estate constructed by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and 24 units of houses for primary teachers built by the Borno State Government.
