His words:

“We campaigned in 2014 about the security of the nation and today those that have the solution to these security issues are not given the privilege to actually implement their solution.
“The government of the day is doing nothing to bring this insecurity to an end. I can tell you categorically that they are not doing enough.
“The president is the chief commander of the armed forces. Giving orders that the security agencies should provide a solution has lingered for seven years.
“The government can fish out anybody at any time they want to. I believe they are not doing anything to fish out these bandits.

Fight to finish, Buhari tells security agencies

Meanwhile, President Buhari had called on security agencies in Ogun to give a 'fight to finish' to stem the tide of cultism and cult-related activities in the state.

The president made this call through a statement on Thursday, March 31, after cultists killed over 16 people in the state within 10 days.

Worried by the spate of killings, President Buhari, through his media aide, Garba Shehu, ordered security agencies to dismantle cultists or cult-related activities in Ogun.
