Governor
Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, has called on the Federal Government to declare
bandits as terrorists group, to allow the Nigerian military deal with them
according to international law.
The
governor spoke yesterday at the presentation of the Kaduna State Security
Incidents Report for the Third Quarter of 2021 in Kaduna saying “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.
This is
the view of the Kaduna State Government."
