From President Muhammadu Buhari has come a warning to the bandits terrorising the Northwest: surrender now or face a fatal and disgraceful end.
Receiving Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State at the State House, Abuja, on Thursday, Buhari vowed that no bandit, having committed crimes against the people, would be spared.
Bandits have scaled up attacks on villages and residents in many parts of Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara and Katsina states in the last few weeks, killing and maiming.

Shehu said: “President Buhari warned bandits to surrender their weapons or face ‘disgraceful and violent ends.
