Shoot bandits on sight, don’t wait for orders – Defence Minister orders soldiers

The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, has
directed security personnel to kill and neutralise bandits and terrorists
immediately upon deployment, warning that any operative who waits for approval
before taking action would be treated as a terrorist.

 

Musa gave the order on Wednesday in Sokoto State while
commissioning 62 operational vehicles and security equipment worth N27.1
billion procured by the Sokoto State Government to strengthen security
operations across the state.

“Once you’re are deployed do not wait for any order from
anybody to to shoot any bandit or any terrorist.

“I want to make that very loud and clear – anybody who
refuses to shoot or kill any bandit or terrorist in the name of waiting for an
order, we will treat you like a bandit,” Musa told the troops.

He stressed the importance of maintaining the newly acquired
equipment.

“It is important for those that will handle this equipment,
these equipment cost billions of naira that could have been used for other
aspects but have been dedicated to this.

“So I want to charge you that you must maintain this
equipment very well. We will come after a year to see how these equipment are
doing,” he said.
