Holding on to hostages as human shield by terrorists is prolonging anti-terror war, President Muhammadu Buhari said yesterday.
“The bandits are just pushing their luck; but this is only for a while before they are finally crushed. They are using civilians as human shields, thereby making it difficult to confront them directly,” the President told some residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The residents, led by the FCT Minister, Mohammed Musa Bello, were at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to pay Sallah homage on the President.
