Former representative of Kaduna Central Senatorial District and President of the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, Shehu Sani, has asked the Federal Government to declare bandits as federal civil servants since it is becoming hard for it to pronounce them terrorists.
Recall that bandits and kidnappers are on rampage in the North West, killing and kidnapping citizens.
They do this in exchange for ransoms.
There have also been reports that villagers now pay levy to the bandits in order for them not to be killed or kidnapped.
Reacting to the killings of Muslim worshipers in their mosques in Niger and Katsina States as well as the killings of Christians in their churches in Kaduna State, the former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Assembly, wondered why the Buhari government was yet to declare bandits’ groups in the North as terrorists.
Sani tweeted on his Twitter handle: “They [bandits] killed Muslim worshipers in their mosques in Niger and Katsina State; they killed Christians in their Churches in Kaduna State; if the Government doesn’t want to declare them terrorists, it should declare them federal civil servants.”
