Crush bandits, criminals in 2025 – Tinubu orders military

Abubakar Badaru, the Minister of Defence, who made the disclosure in a viral video, said the military is responding to the order and will continue its onslaught against bandits and all forms of criminalities.

According to Badaru, the bandits are currently on the run, adding that the military would not relent until all the bandits are kicked out of the country.

“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 minister said.

“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.”
