Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State on Thursday restated his
call for massive bombardment of all forests inhabited by terrorists, NAN
reports.
He said this would contain the current security challenges
in the country.
The governor made the call at a stakeholders meeting in
Giwa, Kaduna State, where terrorists had been invading communities in the last
five days, with several people killed or kidnapped.
“We have been pressing for the past two years for the
military from the air and the ground to bomb these forests while soldiers on
the ground kill all those that escape the bomb.
“I do not believe that there is any innocent person in the
forest.
“It is my intention to see Mr President to reiterate this
and to also ask that a military theatre command headquarters be established for
the Northwest geo-political zone,’’ he said.
According to the governor, the magnitude of the present
security challenges in the Northwest is much more than what was witnessed in
the Northeast.
He said farming had become impossible while lives were being
lost to incessant attacks by terrorists.
“It is time for the Nigeria Air Force and Nigerian Army to
bomb the terrorists out of existence.
“With the declaration by the Federal High Court that these
bandits are terrorists, there is need for security agencies to take extreme
actions to terminate these bandits,’’ El-Rufai stressed.
