Senator Anietie Okon, A spokesperson for the Akwa Ibom Elders, has said the shoot-at-sight order by the President, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (retd), to security agencies is not enough.
Okon, a former Publicity and Organising Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party said what was needed was expressed instruction to wipe out banditry from the country.
Okon, a Third Republic Senator, stated these while speaking to journalists on Sunday in Uyo the Akwa-Ibom State capital.
He berated the way the Buhari-led administration was handling bandits and insurgents in some parts of the north, describing it as unsatisfactory.

“The Federal Government declared war in Igbo land; why can’t the Federal Government deploy same military aircraft and might to crush the insurgents and bandits kidnapping women and children daily in Zamfara, Kaduna and other parts of the north for huge ransoms?
“This shows that the Buhari-led administration is treating the bandits with kid gloves. Buhari’s shoot-at-sight order is not enough. What is needed from the President is full permission to wipe out banditry and other forms of criminality from the county.
