The governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufa’i has called for a massive attacks on all those who inhabit the forest illegally.
He said that this decision will curtail the current state of insecurity plaguing the country.
The governor made the call to action at a stakeholders meeting in Giwa, Kaduna State where bandits have been attacking communities in the past 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 noted that the level of insecurity in the Northwest is greater than that experienced in the Northeast.
He stated further that farming had become impossible due to the constant attack by terrorists.
He said: “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.’’
