Secessionists, arsonists and bandits should now expect fire for fire from the Federal Government as it adopts a tougher stance against insecurity across the Country. President Muhammadu Buhari vowed Friday, June 11, 2021 night that those who are hell bent on destroying his administration would not go Scot free.
He spoke during an interview with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), his second television interview in 24 hours, the first being with Arise TV. Buhari said the bandits terrorising the North and other parts of the Country would also not be spared or be given preferential treatment.
“I mean more than fire for fire; we will arrest them.
“What I hope is to arrest them, try them and give them very bad publicity and then jail them, so that people will know that if you misbehave, you won’t get away with it,” he said.
“How can you go to police station, kill the police (if they are there), loot the armoury and burn the place? What do you want to achieve? Go and open prison and allow criminals that have been tried through the legal system and let them loose on the society, and then how can the Government sit and allow this confusion to be perpetrated? No government can allow confusion.”
He recalled the #EndSARS protests in Lagos and said: “The previous governor of Lagos State bought 200 buses to complement the transportation in Lagos and he built railway, but they went there and burnt them.
“The present Governor made an album and came to see me, and I said thank you very much. I took the album and put in my archives and told him to tell Lagosians to work because we don’t have the money after an administration bought 200 buses. So let them work.”
