Following the recent abduction of schoolgirls in Zamfara state, President Muhammadu Buhari has declared the state a no-fly zone.

He also approved a ban on mining activities by non-state actors.

The steps are taken to address the incessant insecurity in the state.

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Babagana Monguno, spoke to state house correspondents at the end of the national security council meeting on Tuesday.

The meeting was presided by the President at the presidential villa, Abuja with security chiefs in attendance.

The NSA said the federal government will not hesitate to use kinetic means to restore normalcy in the country adding that defense and intelligence organisations have been mandated to make sure the country does not slide into anarchy.

According to Monguno, Buhari also directed service chiefs to reclaim all areas in control of bandits, insurgents and kidnappers.

“We are not going to be blackmailed. The government has the responsibility to assert its will,” he said.

“Citizens can reside wherever they want to reside. Anybody who is a criminal should be brought to book.

“The president has also warned against ethnic profiling. We have had enough of chaos.

“Any individual that thinks he can cause disunity, should have a rethink.”

Last Friday, about 279 schoolgirls were kidnapped after gunmen invaded Government Girls Secondary School Jangebe, Talatu-Mafara LGA of the state.

The Jangebe abductions happened a few days after 27 schoolboys were kidnapped from Government Science College, Kagara, Niger state.

Captives from both incidents have regained freedom.
