The Federal Government says it is difficult to fight bandits because of the terrain in which they operate.

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, said this when he featured on a Bond FM programme at the weekend.

He said the current administration has invested in tackling insecurity, adding that efforts would be more impactful if citizens support government’s efforts.

Reacting to Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s suggestion of hiring mercenaries, Mohammed said, “Governor El-Rufai spoke out of a deep concern about the situation. He might have spoken out because of the circumstances at which the bandits are emboldened to operate.

“The mercenaries cannot be compared with our security forces; the fight against bandits is a difficult one because of the terrain. We cannot just go with full force to bomb them or else innocent people living around them will be killed and we don’t want that to happen.

“If we employ mercenaries to fight the bandits, we should have it at the back of our minds that they are only mercenaries and not our security personnel who will return to wherever after their task is done.”

The Minister also appealed to Nigerians to join the fight against banditry, saying the Federal Government cannot do it alone.

“We are also pleading with Nigerians to join in this fight because they have a lot of roles to play in tackling this insecurity. This is because these criminals called bandits are living among us; they interact with the people as well.”

“Who are the ones supplying them with food? More so, they also have landlords. People should expose these criminals and then, the various efforts of the government will be effectively complemented and we will see the results.

“We have been trying our best in the fight against the bandits by equipping our security apparatus. The government has purchased aircraft so that they can fight alongside the soldiers. We have not rested on our oars.

“The welfare of the police is also given adequate attention and very recently, this administration recruited 25,000 constables and deployed them to their home states. This will go a long way in community policing.

“It will be easier for the newly-recruited constables to work effectively. There are lots of work in progress in the security infrastructure and personnel,” he said. (NAN)

Banditry would become a thing of the past the day we apply Nnamdi KANU arrest strategy on the Bandits

Balderdash!
.. are the terrains in the south east and south west not more difficult than that in the north and despite that the security forces claim greater successes?
Even the swamps of the Niger delta offer a more difficult terrain than the north!!
They sound as if the north is full of mountain ranges, cliffs and canyons. Who is fooling who?
Abeg next base jare!!!

Complainants

But it is easy to block SIM cards abi? Useless government ever.

It is difficult because you don’t have the political will to take down the financiers.

This man won't end well

Afonja and cowardice is like beans and yam

I won't read becos na lie

Because you are incompetent
because there is a religious sentiment that is influencing this government's decision-making.
Because your buddies are smiling to the bank with the military budget loot.

Have you seen the terrain in the NIger delta? but the army has no problem going there killing as many as possible to keep the oil flowing.

like I said before these old fools need to be added as manure source before Nigeria can go anywhere.

South East is easier to invade

But Buhari said he will end terrorism and all form of insecurities 3 or 6 months into his administration. Thank God lie didn't blame Jonathan and the PDP this time around.

Lia Mohammed said its because citizens are not supporting the effort of government

What is this man trying to say

How would anyone blame the citizens for what the government solely have control over

We cannot just go with full force to bomb them or else innocent people living around them will be killed and we don’t want that to happen. - Lai Mohammed

Oga Lai, you don't need all of these, how about you start by arresting and prosecuting their sponsors to starve the fighters of funds and machinery, you guys are not serious about stopping it, so this excuse is lame, we only understand that you are working for your belly....

No Lie, No pay

They should resign then and handover to people that can get the job done rather than giving stupid excuses everyday embarrassing themselves and insulting the intelligence of Nigerians.

So you knew this but before you came to power you were wailing that the past government failed in fighting the terrorists. Useless people.
