In the meeting, he had with National Security Council (NSC) presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, today, Malami said there is a need to stop the logistics used by the terrorists which would limit their activities.
He added that ban on okada used for mining activities across the country, could cut off sources of funds of terrorists and bandits.
