Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Gwabin Musa, has warned that anyone supporting bandits or terrorists will be treated the same as the criminals themselves.

He made this known during a recent visit to Kaduna, where he said those providing assistance whether through trade, information, or logistics would be identified and dealt with accordingly.

The statement suggests a tougher security approach that goes beyond targeting attackers to also focus on their support networks.

Nigeria continues to face security challenges, especially in the northern region, where banditry and insurgency remain major concerns.

👉 What do you think about this approach?

Now, our new strategy: A friend of a thief is a thief. Anybody who is doing any trading or providing any support to them, we will find you together and we will deal with you like bandits, like terrorists.

I get your frustration, many Nigerians feel the same way.

But at the same time, security matters no be something wey go change overnight. Statements like this are one thing, real action is another na the results everybody dey wait for.

Well I like that...

Sadly the masses became lab rats for different parties to experiment on.

Why not have firing squad for terrorists. Then photoshoot. Like every day if possible

No be this same man say bandit are our prodigal sons? Na him them for first treat as a terrorist to set example

This will be seen as unserious statement when the likes of Gumi are still walking free😳😳😳

I'll believe him when they start with gumi

Oga, there are many known supporters of bandits and terrorists all over Nigeria, both online and offline. If you are serious about going after them, you can start with Gumi.

“If IPOB lays down arms and negotiates, I will support them.The military force against Bøko Haram and bandits hasn’t worked, it only worsens things, as k!ll!ng Boko Haram leaders made them stronger”

They are using senior military men as target practice. Soon we no go get ogas at the top if we no take am seriously

Bandit supporters are terrorists but terrorists themselves are bandits. What a clown.

While the bandits themselves are not terrorists.

Half a region go finish be that be that

As una don go sign that yeye pact say killing of offenders is no longer allowed na else why not give them public execution both them and their sympathisers? That would have served as detterance to others

Go and catch Gumi first before we take you seriously.

Talking anyhow. Tolerating nonsense. Your men are dying for nothing. You are busy playing politics with cho cho cho.

Cho Cho Cho at all times, with zero action. Aren't you tired of the constant warnings?

Lol they've the Media and international Media too...



They will call it innocent people so we can colet sanctions and nobody will want to sell us military equipment anymore....



I believe any strike now the Military need to start taking pictures and videos to keep first as evidence use Drone to capture the scene first for backup to counter doz fake Media...

Tell that to the man who said bandits and boko Haram are our brothers,I just want to see something.

At least they are finally agreeing that those bandits are actually Terrorist… Including the online terrorist who are here everyday to to
Castigate and bully people who doesn’t agree with their take…

There are many of them, start from Gumi and we will kmow that you're serious.

Please sir, don’t just “talk the talk”, walk/work it

Untill una go pick sheikh Gumi before we go take una serious. All talk no action

The same way anyone supporting hamas,houthis rebel, Hezbollah,and their father Iran(especially d Islamic Revolutionary guard corps) should b treated as an islamic terrorist

Why does Boko Haram always ambush ambush Nigerian Army when you have this Agency. Why has the Agency not fished out the sponsors in Government or fished out those who always give out the position of troop movement for Ambush

This is the realest statement I've heard from the government so far. Straight up.

You support terrorists, you are a terrorist cos if the opportunity presents itself for you to carry out attacks on your fellow human beings cos of religious difference you will not hesitate.

As it should be.

The recent remarks from Sultan, Ribadu, defencr minister and all fall under this category too and should be treated as the same thing..
