President Muhammadu Buhari says he has told the service chiefs to end terrorism.
He said this on Sunday while sympathizing with a former national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Adamu Muazu, over the killing of his brother and abduction of his sister by bandits.

Buhari, according to a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said he was shocked and outraged by the incidents.
He said: “This double tragedy is particularly moving. I know it’s hard to cope with the weight of this tragedy in your family. I feel your pain.
“Let me use this opportunity to reassure you and other Nigerians currently facing threats from the atrocities of the bandits that I will leave no stone unturned to ensure these enemies of humanity are finally crushed and decisively defeated.
“Security is my constant concern and I have kept the service chiefs on their toes to ensure that they come up with a decisive solution to end this menace.”
