Friday Olokor, Solomon Odeniyi, Deborah Tolu-Kolawole, Romoke Ahmad, Godfrey George and Maiharaji AltineThe Zamfara State Government, Northern Elders Forum, and security experts, among others, have backed the National Assembly’s call on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to declare bandits terrorising the country, especially the North-West, as terrorists.
“They also asked that the president declare all known leaders of bandits wanted and arrest them wherever they are found for speedy prosecution. Such declaration to be done through a Proscription Order can be done pursuant to Section 2 of the Terrorism Prevention Act, 2011 . He commended the National Assembly for their decision, adding that it was time to deal with the bandits once and for all for peace to return to the country.
“This is one major step that has to be taken in expressing the seriousness of the government in tackling terrorism in the country. Failure to do this has been one major factor that has emboldened the bandits in their occupation, which has made life unbearable for Nigerians,” he argued. “They are in all our places of worship and political corridors and have constituted themselves into feared monsters almost taking decisions and, in some instances, reversing some policy decisions of our country.
Until the northern governors put their money where their mouth is, this is just sweet noise.
