The All Progressives Congress Legacy and Awareness Campaign (APCLAC) the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will not condone the activities of Boko Haram insurgents, bandits and members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
In a statement on Tuesday signed by its spokesmen, Ismaeel Ahmed, Lanre Issa-Onilu, and Tolu Ogunlesi, the group said security agencies are now speaking the language the criminal elements understand.
The group noted that peace is gradually returning to the country after President Muhammadu Buhari pledged to speak to the criminals in “a language they understand”.
“From the south-east to the south-south up to the north-east and north-west, bandits, insurgents, kidnappers and other criminal elements are being given bloody noses, in fulfilment of President Buhari’s pledge to speak to these undesirable elements in a language they would understand,” the statement reads.
The statement read in parts: “In the South-East, for instance, members of the IPOB that have been terrorising many communities, razing down public properties including police stations and killing security agents in the process, have almost been completely decimated.
“For the north-west where kidnapping and banditry are prevalent, the gallant troops are giving the perpetrators a hot chase and neutralising them in large numbers.
“Terrorists in the north-east are also feeling the heat as the military continues to decimate them. We commend our gallant security personnel and call on all Nigerians to support Nigeria’s armed forces for the war against insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, abduction and all crimes to succeed in Nigeria.”
