The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General, Farouk Yahaya, says bandits and terrorists will soon be brought to book.
Yahaya gave the warning in Maiduguri while on a visit to boost the morale of troops fighting Boko Haram terrorists and commission some projects for the Nigerian troops on the frontlines.
“This is a message to all the criminals, whether they are making videos or whatever they are making, the time is up and we will get to them by the grace of God,” Mr Yahaya said. “The recent happenings by these criminal elements are panic action, and they will definitely see the noose getting close to them; it’s just a matter of time, we will get them.”
Yahaya’s comments come after a video of the abducted Abuja-Kaduna train victims was released on Sunday by their abductors.
