Sahara report stop calling them bandit 😡 they were Terrorist 🖕 Buhari APC terrorist government sponsoring terrorist Fulani to kill innocent citizens and take over there land

Information Minister called them just a common criminals

Didn't lie moh... say bandits are simple criminals? Is okkay

Bandits are simple criminals, they don’t carry flag like ipob. Those that carry flags are terrorist while bandits with AK 47 are simple criminals - FG

Buhari want do u want ? What do u want mr president. Don't say you are not aware.

Terrorists that's what they are not bandits

My heart breaks looking at that little boy standing there watching the carnage! Northern Nigeria why?

Glory be to God, let the military keep dancing golden and silver down in alaigbo, God will show you demons why he's God, I go drink moet today.

These guys are terrorists not bandits,the right verb should be used

And Lie Lie Muhammad is still supporting them well I'm not surprised because they are they terrorist in leadership we have today.

And the information minister calls bandits simple criminals? SHAME!!!

Awon eranko! You pushed the narrative that Jonathan was using BH to reduce your population Who is using terror to reduce & torment your population today MNK or Sunday Igboho.

In Lie Lai's voice 'They are simple criminals' willing to waste 49 market men and women without carting away with essential commodities. Mtchew

And clueless Malami won't come out to declare state of emergency fools

All well and good as long as it happens in the northern part of the country. Let them be their own nightmare and cause only the chaos among themselves

World standard for measuring failure, muhammadu buhari Fail - mbF

They are ordinary criminals that's y we call them bandits pls allow them to kill small they don't have flags like boko-boys or ipob they are of the government just give them money to stop or just ask lie Mohammed we knw they are good people only they love killing that's all.

They said they're simple criminals na... Atleast they don't have a flag 🥱

This kind of news no dey bother me again... Naw before I dey feel like crying for the people that lost their lives but now ... Am used to it and feel nothing again as long as the northern leaders are silent n doing notin .. Anoda killing will still come and notin will happen

Nawao

This is the same bandits that Liar Mohammed called simple criminals and tagged IPOB a terrorist. Now let the people of the world judge. IPOB are people not a group seeking for referendum while Fulani terrorist herdsmen called bandits with AK-47 are simple criminals.

Buhari say we should tone down security report 😆🤣😂 and we have govt in power who controls all Armed forces,yet blood of innocent citizens flowing like Ikogi water spring. These why Buhari is loved in d North more than Awolowo and Zik put together U cant cry more dan d Bereaved

The village no get name

Wonderful

kingteddypath Lai Mohammed is doing great, carryOn

Even the Muslim they're been killed as well, their own people oo, the same religion, I wonder what will happen to the old Easterners(BIAFRANS) if this people finally invade the east

Simple criminals without flag - Lai Mohammed

For years, Boko Haram had nothing on Sokoto. Bandits suddenly remembered from their headquarters in Katsina, Niger & Zamfara that Sokoto has to be co-opted.

The killers via the custodian imams will continue brainwashing them that their calamity is as a result of their sins, and absurdly they seemed to have bought in to that evil narrative. If the victims are being killed as a result of their sins, are their killers the agent of hell?

Bandits or terrorist. Can you people get sense fir once and call them what they are 'TERRORIST '

Lai Mohammed said it's cool.... So no worries....

They don’t have flags

And Buhari is begging press not to report the increasing rate of insecurities and deaths

Dey are just criminals no flags hmmmm terrorist sponsors gov't officials Nig

This is so sad, and people are playing politics with this. The the minister of information said they are just simple criminals. They won't be simple anymore if his family member were affected

This is not terrorism because the murderous perpetrators believe in 'One Nigeria' - according to Nigeria's minister of propaganda.

Nnamdi and Igboho is the problem

But IPOB is their No1 problem.

These people are killing souls while lie Muhammad is there saying they are mere criminals for not carrying flags.

That is the consequence of having the wrong person at the helm of affairs. Tell them to vote tomorrow they will still shout Sai baba, including those killed. We in the south cry and shout more over the killing in the north than the northerners.

Is there a state of emergency?

To kill a mosquitoe slf dey hard not to talk of 49 people

So much bloodshed in this administration.💔

But Mr Minister said today, Bandits, Have No Flags Like Boko Haram, IPOB, They Are Simple and Pure Criminals. So, what went wrong in Sokoto? Our Leaders are only covering Serpents under their caps and some under their Agbada or Kaftans. I only pity the poor Nigerians.

They will bury them before 10pm in the evening and say that's what Allah has willed for them, then return to their work the next day. I've never seen a tribe like hausa people. Zombie

All those who supported Buhari were protected by the spirit of APC. It was the enemies of the govt that died!

You can never see that barawo banza call Ibnbazo comment on this kind news, any way Boko boys will soon locate him one day.

cchukudebelu You can never see Northerners comment on this! But let it happen in Southern part especially South East, they will yap like never before.

But Dokpesi says IGBOS can’t be trusted but now Hausa Fulani trusted 8yrs of sorrows.

EndBanditsInNigeria BuhariMustGo since he has failed to do his job. WeDeserveGoodGovernance

No state of emergency in Sokoto but in Anambra because it is Igboland. SE, the 5% region.

All these happened in a country and governors and president retain their jobs . The north n everyone in it extremely USELESS.

The Bandits are teaching them the language they Understand. Keep sending soldiers to Southeast

The aso rock canals should be bandits target not innocent people anyway Arewa cows will keep mute on this

What is going on.

😱😱😳

But is Anambra state that should have state of Emergency. Failed country, failed leaders, failed citizens. This contraption should be on sale on Ebay.

Pls tell mr lying Mohammed who said bandits are common criminals

Terrorists and not bandits

But Army's are in the East

The middle east sponsored religious extremist terrorists soft target approach on helpless people shows cowardice , and their in ability to engage the military , and looking for opportunity to claim fake victory and media publicity

AChijioke DejiAdesogan and his BMC crew should be interested in this news. zooinshambles EndNigeriaNow

Those guys have wealthy sponsors. Many of us didn't know that one Ak7 is not less than 1.5 millionaire .

So na so 49 people just go like that for no reason what so ever mehn F this country

Na WA o, but things like this don't happen in sokoto before na

This set of groups are still calling bandits isokay

And these blood sucking monsters are yet to be declared 'Terrorist' chaiiiiii☹️

Nemesis in the Northern Zoo For The Calamity Their Fathers Committed Against Biafran's Some Time Ago & Even Now. It Never Fail To Come.

Let them enjoy the bandit because they said it normal things. Ntr

And the Almighty Sultan I'd proud of this? Talking about 'you fight Allah if you fight boko haram aka bandits?

Meanwhile

Boko boys should b sent to calm d situation as all NG police and military are busy in Anambra causing chaos

It's IPOB let's blame them... 🥱

Fake News... BUHARI IS WORKING AND BANDITS ARE WORKING HARD TO DESTABILISE MR INTEGRITY

JeffNnaka These people in the north no dey finish? Everyday kill, kill ,kill. Buhari is overwhelmed, let's accept it. The man has no capacity to lead Nigeria. He should just pack and go.

Wednesday watch how many police officers will be at lekkitollgate, when it comes to securing lives Nigerian security agencies seems not to have the man power.

Fake news

49?!!😱💔

Lai Mohammeh called them common criminals today. He said that they cannot be classified as terrorists. For him, IPOB is the organisation threatening the territory of Nigeria.

Sokoto people should know that the terrorists are their brothers, they should respect them, be kind to them, since they believe in one Nigeria no body should touch them.

Where’s their father shiekh gumi?

Nice one, buhari is working.

30k army personnel are not good for securing life's and properties, they are only good for securing elections and rigging them. Where is their gallantry when it is most needed ?

Sometimes daredevil kidnappers will write you about their intention to kidnap you & urge to pay to avoid abduction.People mostly paid because the threat is real. That commander-in-chief of Armed forces paid such money in his country/hometown is a joke to you? Jungle Oba 👇🤣
