FOLLOWING the loss of lives and property in incessant bandits’ attacks and the rate of kidnapping in the country, President Bola Tinubu has declared that those involved in these acts must be treated as terrorists.
Speaking on Tuesday, March 26, during a Ramadan dinner with members of the judiciary, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, Tinubu said: “They have been degraded. They look for soft targets. They go to schools and kidnap children and cause disaffection.
“We must treat them equally as terrorists in order to get rid of them, and I promise you we will get rid of them.”
The dinner was attended by serving and retired judicial officers, including two former CJNs- Justices Mahmud Mohammed and Walter Onnoghen.
