The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)
The National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno (retd.), on Tuesday quoted the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), as directing the nation's service chiefs to identify masterminds of banditry and kidnapping as well as the sponsors with a view to taking them out.
The NSA told State House correspondents that Buhari handed down the directive at a meeting he had with the service chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He quoted the President as saying that a situation where the armed forces are reactionary rather than being proactive will no longer be tolerated.

Buhari met the service chiefs ahead of his trip to London for routine medical check-up.
Monguno said, "On the issues of kidnapping and banditry, this menace still persists, especially in the North West and the North-Central zones.
"Mr President has been very emphatic. He has stated clearly that this problem must be brought to an end, but using the traditional methods that the armed forces have been trained to deploy.
"Mr President has made it very clear to both the intelligence and operational elements that the first assignment will be to identify the leaders of these bandits, kidnappers and take them out, in order to restore confidence in those areas.
