Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has called on the Federal Government to declare bandits as terrorists, to allow the Nigerian military deal with them.
El-Rufai made the call at the presentation of the Kaduna State Security Incidents Report for the Third Quarter of 2021 in Kaduna.
“we in the Kaduna State Government, have always aligned with the declaration of bandits as insurgents and terrorists.
“We have written letters to the Federal Government since 2017, asking for this declaration because it is the declaration that will allow the Nigerian military to attack and kill these bandits without any major consequences in international law.
” So, we support the resolution by the National Assembly and we are going to follow up with a letter of support, for the Federal Government to declare these bandits and insurgents as terrorists, so that they will be fair game for our military.” El-Rufai added.
