Mr man people like you are the ones worsening the issue by politicising it with this kind of comments. Is it not the federal government headed by Buhari that approached the court for the declaration in the first place?

Buhari refused to "obasanjolised" his style of government hence some riffraff sabotaging his efforts thereby causing havoc for innocent citizens.

Lets see what will happen after 2023 GOD'S willing after a southerner, an acclaimed academic sophisticated tribe will be in control. Maybe by then Talatu Ezerike will be broadcasting official news from ASO Rock chapel as witnessed during PDP era, who knows.

You goofed, it was a private citizen who took it to court.

Is this supposed to come as a surprise to anyone....we all know it will definitely come to this.....bubu & malami are really doing well

A lot of people forgot that the FG was the person that took the matter to court to declare banditry terrorists

You goofed, it was a private citizen who took it to court.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday declared the activities of bandits’ groups as acts of terrorism.

The verdict strengthens the call on the federal government to declare bandits ravaging the North-western and the North-central regions as terrorists.

Mohammed Abubakar, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) of the Federation, had filed an ex-parte application seeking to proscribe the grisly activities of ‘bandits’ who have been waging a relentless war against ordinary Nigerians in the North-west and North-central States.[b]

The bandits have been vicious in kidnapping and killing their captives across Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Benue and Sokoto states.

While moving the application on Thursday, [b] Mr Abubakar informed the court that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the proscription of bandits as terrorists.

In his ruling, the judge, Taiwo Taiwo, specifically held that the activities of Yan Bindiga and Yan Ta’adda bandit groups constitute acts of terrorism.

According to court documents, the federal government based its decision on security reports, which confirmed that the bandits were responsible for the “killings, abductions, rapes, kidnappings,” in northern Nigeria.

The government further blamed the group for the growing cases of “banditry, incessant kidnappings for ransom, kidnapping for marriage, mass abductions of school children and other citizens, cattle rustling, enslavement, imprisonment, severe deprivation of physical liberty, torture, rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, other forms of sexual violence, attacks and killings in communities and on commuters and wanton destruction of lives and properties in Nigeria, particularly in the North-west and North-central states in Nigeria being carried out by Yan Bindiga and Yan Ta’adda groups and other groups associated with or engaged in the same or similar activities as Yan Bindiga and Yan Ta’adda groups in Nigeria.”

“The activities of Yan Bindiga and Yan Ta’adda groups and other similar groups constitute acts of terrorism that can lead to a breakdown of public order and safety and is a threat to national security and the corporate existence of Nigeria,” the government said.

Ruling
In the ruling, the judge declared the activities of Yan Bindiga and Yan Ta’adda group” and other similar groups in any part of the country as “acts of terrorism and illegality.”

The court proscribed the activities of the group as well as other similar groups in any part of Nigeria, “either in groups or as individuals by whatever names they are called.”

In its ruling, the court restrained “any person or group of persons from participating in any manner whatsoever, in any form of activities involving or concerning the prosecution of the collective intention or otherwise of the Yan Bindiga group and the Yan Ta’adda group under any other name or platform however called or described.”

Mr Taiwo equally directed the Nigerian government to publish the proscription order in the official gazette and two national newspapers.

Background
PREMIUM TIMES reported on Thursday how bandits asked the family of an abducted police officer to pay a N200 million ransom for his quick release because they have to leave telecommunications service area.

The police personnel, Sambo Hosea, was kidnapped alongside many other travellers on Sunday on the Kaduna-Abuja highway.


He was the police orderly to Sagir Hamida, a former governorship aspirant in Zamfara State who was killed by the bandits in the incident.

The bandits subsequently demanded the N200 million ransom from Mr Hosea’s family.

ⓘ
In a telephone interview with the family on Wednesday, the outlaws said they were leaving the location where they could access service and urged for timely payment of the ransom.

When tthe relatives of the abducted police officer responded that they had raised N2 million, the kidnappers gave them six hours to hand over the amount they demanded.

An assistant to the deceased politician, Ibrahim Musa, confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES.

This is only one of many cases Nigerians battle with daily.

Parts of North-western states of Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina and Sokoto, have had telecommunications networks shut down due to intractable attacks by rampaging bandits.

Exactly. Those who voted in this useless, terrorism sympathetic government are surprisingly the ones paying heavily in tears and blood for their senselessness and stupid decision.

Vote Buhari, vote for Change, vote progress, Peace and Security... 2014

2021 here we are.
What did we vote for?

We voted in a monumental, historical walking disaster in human form.

Damidave1124:
They swiftly termed IPOB terrorists, but when it comes to bandits, they are crawling like a snail.

Tribalism and nepotism in this administration is too glaring abeg

More reason God will punish the North more.

Stop repeating what neutrals already know...

Sorry I can see your type. It is either you are ill-informed, cannot read and comprehend or both. Maybe you just choose to be media-zombie because even from this very news, it is stated clearly that the Federal government approached the court for the declaration.
Go back to school please and stop commenting on public issues.

Family affair, do not disturb.

Krucifax:
Why is anyone surprised. This is a lawless government of impunity . A government that routinely ignores the law and fails to abide by rules and regulations that govern civilised nations over the world.
The same government that was midwived by Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The same man that now wants to rule the country in 2023.
If you ever wondered why the world largely considers Africa a joke is because of things like the above.
The rulers are madmen. The people are not far behind as enablers or wilful participants in their own demise.
When oyibo man laughs at you don't be offended the truth is most of you are worthy of laughter.

So true. The average Nigerian is stupid as they put tribal sentiment above all us. Imagine the level of vitriol that was thrown at Jonathan when he was in power. Those same fools have either been killed due to the enormous violence that has engulfed Nigeria since or now silenced. Sadly it was Jonathan’s critics that have paid the worst price. People like Swore come to mind. PDP may have been corrupt, but they were actually competent and gave all regions attention. This current administration is criminal and Buhari needs to face the international criminal court for this treachery.

Cannot believe Nigerians are still allowing this stupidity in 2021 while every other nation is developing and advancing. So pathetic.

The Federal Government has failed to officially designate bandits as terrorists three weeks after a Federal High Court ordered the government to do so.

Now, where are all the Unity Beggars, Sai Babarians, Buhari Idiots, Facebook Bandits, Social Media Almajiris and Sophisticated M0R0NS who are always in the habit of spewing garbage on this platform and defending the indefensible? Your beloved and failed government has yet to declare the murderous Fulani group as "TERRORISTS" more than three weeks after a court declared them as such. And yet, you have the audacity to chant ONE NIGERIA! So, tell me what's ONE about NIGERIA? You ought to be ashamed of your ignorant and stupid selves!

The Govt is very deceitful , but God will judge them sooner or later.. let them continue to pile up their iniquity , their cup shall soon be full in Jesus name

Sad

Hmmm

Lol! It over too much oo!

No government in the world will ever declare itself illegal.

Please don't declare them terrorists yet, wait until they've completely finished the Islamic North. After all, they're just business men who are honourably doing their honest business of hijacking of buses, kidnapping and killing of indegenous people and setting houses ablaze while people are inside sleeping.
Mumu terrorist government

I don't know how it will be possible for FG to declare loyal boys as terrorist?

Chicken-heated Yeyesharing, what is going to be their punishment, for not obeying court orders?

Watch the Obj video the other day.
He said gumi said somethings to him he never knew before.
Importantly amongst others was that the bandits have full control of their environment.
Do you know what that means in military terms? It means they dominate the place uncontested. It no one is challenging them!
My aboki told me the other day that those bandits are known with huge building in the bush where theh house hundreds of kidnapped victims. That why have those places not been raided. In sumarry, he alledged oga at the top knows and is protecting them.
