President Muhammadu Buhari has directed
the security agencies to, at all times, be ahead of bandits and criminals
wherever they are across Nigeria.
President Buhari said the security
agencies must do this by efficiently gathering, sharing and acting on credible
intelligence.
Buhari, in another statement he posted
on his twitter account last night, said he issued the directive at the Aso Rock
Presidential Villa in Abuja at a meeting of the National Security Council he
presided over earlier in the day.
"One of the resolutions from our
Security Meeting today (Monday) is that all our law enforcement agencies must
take intelligence-gathering and sharing much more seriously. The Police and DSS
especially have been charged to step up their efforts and capacity in this
regard.
"Our law enforcement agencies must
at all times stay ahead of bandits and criminals, wherever they are across the
country, by efficiently gathering, sharing and acting on credible
Intelligence," the president tweeted.
President Buhari assured that his administration
would give the security agencies all the support needed to succeed.
Buhari also assured that "all
persons arrested so far, including those arrested for illegally possessing
arms, will be duly prosecuted."
The president urged judicial officers
"to be alive to responsibilities in this regard to enable the speedy
dispensation of justice."
