Take the fight to Boko Haram - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday ordered the Nigerian Armed Forces to take the fight to the insurgents continuously until the terrorists are rooted out.

President Buhari announced the move in a message delivered on his behalf by the Senate President Lawan’s led delegation to Borno. Lawan said Buhari had assured that he had committed himself to make more resources available to the military to prosecute the war.

According to Lawan, “he promised to work closely with neighbouring countries on bilateral and multilateral levels to ensure that there is no hiding place for the terrorists.

“Nothing is more important than ensuring the security of lives and property of the people. Everything is secondary when security is at a stake.

“As we mourn the loss of our sons in Zabarmari, the armed forces have been given the marching order to take the fight to the insurgents, not on a one-off, but continuously until we root out the terrorists,” Lawan said.

The president described the massacre of the farmworkers as the worst form of “senseless, barbaric and gruesome murder.”

Buhari, who voiced the condolences of the government and people of Nigeria gave assurances of his continuous commitment to fighting insurgency and all forms of insecurity in Borno State and all over Nigeria.

He lauded Governor Babagana Zulum for his leadership in running the affairs of the state.
