The Strategies We Employ Against Bandits And Terrorists Will Remain A Secret – FG

The Federal Government has come out to say that no N800M payment was made for the release of students and teachers of Government Science College, Kagara, Niger State.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed recently revealed this on Channels TV’s ‘Sunrise Daily’, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the rumours are obviously false, but the Federal Government will continue keeping the strategies it employs while dealing with bandits and terrorists secret.

He added that criminality in any form will not be tolerated by the government, and Buhari will keep making life difficult for the perpetrators.

His words, “I was in Minna with my colleagues, the Ministers of Interior and Police Affairs, the IG, and the National Security Adviser, on Wednesday, to get firsthand information on the abduction of these Kagara schoolboys.”

“I can tell you that as at today that the government is on top of the matter.”

“Bandits all over the world work with the psychology of the people.”

“Deliberately, they target women and children because this is what will attract a lot of global outcries. That is exactly what bandits do all over the world.”

“The government has put in place, all along, various strategies to contain banditry, to fight insurgency, to fight kidnapping.”

“Some of these measures are kinetic, some are not kinetic. We didn’t get here overnight and that is why it is difficult to get out one day.”

“Criminality in any form will not be tolerated by the government. At the same time, the government has a duty to look at the underlining causes of some of these criminalities in other to address them.”
