Kaduna residents have condemned the constant killing and kidnappings by bandit terrorists in their communities.
They called on the government and security operatives to bring a lasting solution to the problem maintaining that if nothing is done they would take up arms and face the bandits themselves.
The bandits had attacked the Kagoro community in the Kaura Local Government Area of the state, killed and abducted several people.
On the 3rd of April, bandits had also attacked army operatives along Birni Gwari road, killed some soldiers, and burnt two armored tanks.
A former local government chairman of Kaduna South, Alhaji Ibrahim Mustapha told Daily Post that he could see bandits gradually gaining ground.
“Bandits are gaining ground. Our Nigerian troops are dying daily. Most experienced army personnel are being retired, killed or dismissed.
“Those boys recruited into the service have no experience on the job. They kill them daily like chickens. We cannot fold our hands while the battle is taking to our doorstep.
Also speaking, Major Usman Momoh (Rtd), said “it is a bad situation we find ourselves in.
“Again, Nigerians are not sincere with themselves. We betray ourselves simply because or money.”
According to him, “those sponsoring criminals keep loading foreign mercenaries to Nigeria to fight our security, kill us and when their population is reduced, the sponsors of these criminals, go to other countries and bring more.”
He also stated that those fighting Nigerians are foreigners sponsored by Nigerians.
“Now, the experienced military officers are gone, living the few who are learning on the job, to face bandits.
“Most of these foreign bandits are trained military who are being persuaded to come and take arms against Nigerians.”
