Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has said the only
way to end banditry in Nigeria was for the military to kill them all.
El-Rufai said the military should storm forests where
bandits stay and bomb the whole place, thereby eliminating them.
He spoke at a dialogue tagged: “Financing Safe Schools:
Creating Safe Learning Communities” in Abuja, yesterday.
El-Rufai also disclosed that all governors of the North have
agreed that bandits must be wiped out.
He said: “Our position as governors and we are unanimous in
this because we, the northern states’ governors, met with the president on this
subject our unanimous position is to wipe out the bandits.
“We must go into these forests; nobody living in that forest
is innocent and just kill them all. It is the only way to end this.”
The Governor also disclosed that the military needed
sophisticated weapons to effectively wipe out bandits.
El-Rufai said both land and air powers were needed to
confront bandits.
“We need the combination of airpower, and we need troops on
the ground augmented by local expertise and knowledge.
“We need just one, two, three months operation to just try
to kill all the bandits. It’s the only way to stop this. So long as these
bandits are being paid, it’ll remain a business.
“So the only option that we have is to ensure that we kill
them all. What you see is the coordinated action with air power, use of
drones,” he added.
