A viral video has surfaced showing the wife of a notorious bandit making a shocking plea to Nigerian soldiers, urging them to stop killing captured bandits.

According to Zagazola Makama, a counterterrorism expert in the Lake Chad region, women argued that bandits are not the only ones committing atrocities.

She claimed that soldiers, by eliminating captured criminals, are equally guilty of wrongdoing.

The video has sparked widespread outrage, with many Nigerians condemning the attempt to equate the actions of security forces with those of criminal elements that have terrorized communities.

Security analysts warn that such narratives could be part of an ongoing propaganda effort to undermine military efforts in the fight against banditry and terrorism.

Meanwhile, the military has yet to officially respond to the video.

Can you imagine the audacity. This is what Amnesty international and the media want. If the Airforce dropped a bomb on her, there would be noise everywhere in the media about the military killing innocent women. We're not yet ready.

Bandits and their families are now celebrities in naija



Shame

JuanDeDios:
It's wrong to kill CAPTURED criminals. We don't live in the jungle. You kill them in a shootout. But once CAPTURED, you detain them and hand them to the prosecuting authorities to have their day in court.

Mistersolar:
then be realesed as repentant bandits

JuanDeDios:
That's also wrong. They should be prosecuted jailed (or executed if they get the death sentence).
