The President noted that a major military operation code named “Operation Accord” has been launched by the military, targeting the bandits that have been tormenting North-West and North Central states.

President Buhari reassured Nigerians that his government is determined to protect them against “remorseless psychopathic mass killers who have no regard for the sanctity of life.’’
