El-Rufai Slams FG for Funding Bandits

Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State accused the Federal Government of funding and empowering bandits. He criticized the approach of negotiating and compensating armed groups, arguing that it strengthens criminal elements.

El-Rufai advocated for a tougher stance, suggesting that bandits should be eliminated rather than engaged in dialogue. He referenced intelligence reports to support his claims.

The governor's strong stance against negotiating with bandits highlights the ongoing security challenges in Nigeria and the debate over the most effective strategy to combat insecurity.
