President Muhammadu Buhari has assured farmers in the North-West and the North-Central zones that they will go back to their farmlands in this year’s rainy season.
Buhari who spoke during an interview with Arise TV today said he has given the military and police a marching order to be ruthless on bandits in the North-west and North-central zones of the country.

“As I said earlier, we are going to treat them in a language they understand”.
“We are going to give the police and the military power to be ruthless and you watch it, in a few weeks time, they will be different,” Buhari said.
“I have given the police and the military the power to be ruthless to these criminals and you watch it in a few weeks”. Concluded President Buhari.
