Based on their standard template for Southern Nigeria, I would expect the Nigerian police to retaliate by burning every house and arresting every young man found within a 10 mile radius of that community.

If they can't do that in the North, then why do they always do it in the South??

They will not burn even the bush , they will go back to Abuja and complain of outdated equipment. Sometimes I have come to realise that bandits are not the issue but the gross ineptitude of the security agencies and the age long incapacity and incompetence is beginning to bear fruit.

The bandits only helped us realise that we have no military and we have the most useless police force in the world.

- Twenty operatives from Nigeria’s security agencies have been massacred in Zamfara state in the northern area of the country according to authorities.

The killings occurred in the Shinkafi Local Government Area and the victims’ bodies were set ablaze by notorious bandits operating in the state.

Security operatives were sent to a village where bandits have been ravaging for some time without any sign of a slowdown.

Spokesman of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) in the state, Aminu Mary, confirmed the killings and said the state commandant of the corps had gone to the scene to ascertain what happened.

The state government said more than 2,000 suspected bandit informants have been arrested since it cut telecommunication services and the military launched an offensive, according to Zamfara state Commissioner for Information Ibrahim Dosara.

“The government has set up a situation room where complaints are being received to ensure prompt action,” said Dosara as reported by Anadolu.

He said security operations have been successful and bandits have fled. Others are being starved or forced to feed on raw food following the government’s sanction.

The governments of the troubled northwest states suspended telecommunications networks, banned weekly markets and restricted the sale of petrol, among other drastic measures, to halt the activities of the bandits.

Unlike in Sokoto, Kaduna and Katsina, where the telecommunications ban affects selected areas, all parts of Zamfara State are affected.
