The bandits also said some police officers have been a part of the conspiracy that has fueled insecurity across Nigeria.

Armed bandits terrorising different parts of Nigeria have disclosed that they have been receiving arms and ammunition from operatives of the State Security Service and often split ransom payments received at gunpoint.

The criminals told Deutsche Welle in a recent report that they “borrow weapons” from the state agents and then go to work to share ill-gotten gains together.

The bandits also said some police officers have been a part of the conspiracy that has fueled insecurity across Nigeria which President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused of being too lazy to address.

A spokesman for the SSS did not return a request seeking comments from Peoples Gazette about whether or not the secret police was aware of a possible alliance between its officers and armed bandits wreaking havoc across the country.

The report surfaced amidst widespread claims that Nigerian security forces are fueling insecurity for financial benefits. In 2018, Theophilus Danjuma, a former chief of army staff, said the Nigerian military and other state agents were actively supplying weapons to violent criminals waging a war against minority rural settlers in Nigeria’s north-central.

The Buhari administration denied the allegation, but several indications have emerged repeatedly since then that appeared to show that the government was not as concerned about the raging crisis.

Last week, Mr Buhari warned Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue, where armed militia elements have killed thousands and razed hundreds of villages since Mr Buhari assumed power in 2015, to either accept the controversial ruga policy or continue to endure violence with his people.

Last month, Mr Buhari also stood Isa Pantami, one of his cabinet ministers who was recently exposed as a hardline jihadist and lover of Osama Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda and other groups and persons long associated with terrorism.

Peoples Gazette

Terrorist government

I'm not surprised

The useless government is responsible for the unrest in South East and banditry in the north.

Buhari will never end well, insha Allah.

Mtchewww... Who doesn't know

Abacha said it all: if insurgency exceed 24hrs, govt is complicit

WE KNOW ALREADY









TERRORIST GOVERNMENT

Watch how dey will come out in full force to deny that their hands are not involve

We are all doing well

Of course. It has been clear as crystal that the security apparatus of the nation has been polluted and deliberately infiltrated with terrorists.

Inside life!

The same stupid DSS that arrests political opposition? Okay oh

Lol, this thing get two face sha. The SSS would vehemently refuse, while we don't know the particular faction of bandit now.

Also the newspaper outlet for this news are not really known for straightforward news.

The terrorists in aso rock stand gidigba for ground doing what they know best to do.

Nigerian uniform men and arm robbery and kidnapping are like 5&6 once you dismiss them see as they rush into crime full time withouth rethink.

We all know this to be true, don't let us pretend as if it is new. If not true DSS suppose to have arrested the bandits spokesman.

Dem go still deny am,,

9ja which way na?

When we say the DSS and the military are terrorists, they will say its a lie. The DSS planted UGM in the Land of Biafra. The army intentionally hands over high grade assault equipments like the MRAP to them.

You can't tell me that you can't bug the MRAP that even if bandits overcome the army and take it, that the signals unit of the army can't through that big, locate the location of the bokoharam as they drive it to their base.

Buhari na terrorist

Just imagine! This country is finished,the sss that is meant to protect lives are the ones aiding to destroy it. No hope for this country I need to Japa

We warned all of you but your emotions got the best of you

Hmmmm

There was a country

The criminals told Deutsche Welle in a recent report that they “borrow weapons” from the state agents and then go to work to share ill-gotten gains together.

No doubt it’s their kinsmen(northerners) in the security agencies that supply them these fire arms.

It’s still their kinsmen(northerners) that head most of the security agencies in Nigeria. Nigeria is fighting shadows, how can we achieve peace and unity? When one region become a parasite, pulling other region back

Cursed region

Terrorist government!

Definitely true

These bandits, terrorists, gunmen can never succeed without having key people in government solidly behind them.
