Nationwide Broadcast: Killings in Katsina, Borno result of COVID-19 – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern over the recent killings in Katsina and Borno States.
He disclosed that the recent killings in both States were as a result of criminals taking advantage of COVID-19 restriction. “Ending insurgency, banditry and other forms of criminality across the nation is being accorded appropriate priorities and the men and women of the Armed Forces of Nigeria have considerably downgraded such threats across all geo-political zones.”
The President further sent his condolence to families affected by rise of insecurity in some States, even as he directed local governments to revamp their intelligence assets to stop any planned attacks in remote rural areas.“The total collapse of the economies of these areas, which constituted a threat to our food security, has also been reversed with the gradual recovery of farming and other economic activities.
