The Minister of Defence, Maj.-Gen. Bashir Magashi (rtd), stated while addressing the press in Abuja on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cWe have now put the terrorists, bandits and their like on the run and we will not relent until they have been crushed.\u201d<\/p>\n

He commended men and women of the various security agencies such as the military, police, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Immigration, Customs, Nigerian Correctional Service, and intelligence agencies, among others, for their sacrifice and patriotism.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must also realize that security is the business of everyone, hence the tagline \u2018if you see something, say something,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerrorists or bandits are not spirits. They are human beings, and some of them reside in our communities. They must all be exposed and crushed for peace to reign.\u201d<\/p>\n
