This man is truly thick.

Malamis... Lais... Femis... Yemis and Buharis nkor?

Your party member call them business men

Bandits nko?

So finally, malami has affirmed his a terrorist. Because he kidnapped MNK. Shameless hypocrites.

This learned SAN is, with all due respect, very foncused! Kidnapping (although not on the Nigerian scale) has legal definitions different from acts constituting terrorism so while a terrorist can also be a kidnapper, a kidnapper strictly cannot be a terrorist

What about herdsmen that kill human beings as against rearing cows?

If kidnappers are considered terrorist why then has it become rocket science for this clueless administration to declare killer herdsmen as terrorist

And Bandits Awon weerey

If true, the PoliceNG, officialEFCC, are on this table. Nigerian lawyers, food is ready.

While bandits are now considered....

But for bandits, we are following due process.
