Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has said the only way to end banditry in Nigeria is for the military to kill them all.
El-Rufai in Abuja on Wednesday, during a dialogue tagged: “Financing Safe Schools: Creating Safe Learning Communities” said the military should storm forests where bandits stay and bomb the whole place, thereby eliminating them.
He also said that all Northern governors have agreed that bandits must be wiped out.
“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,” he said.
El-Rufai also disclosed that the military needs sophisticated weapons to effectively wipe out bandits.
He said both land and air powers were needed to confront bandits.
