The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Saad Abubakar III, says it will take decades for the bandit-ravaged North-West geopolitical zone to come out of the menacing security challenge.

The President General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) stated this at the North-West Peace and Security Summit in Katsina State on Monday.

“What we must do is to challenge these bandits because we all know the consequences of banditry and insurgency on our lives. But it will take decades to get out of it if all we get out of it. We all know the consequences and the problems,” he said.

The Sultan expressed the readiness of traditional rulers to partner with security agencies and the seven governors of the geopolitical zone to “save our region from the numerous problems” of banditry and insurgency.

Governments the world over have not overcome drug syndicate, I doubt this criminal enterprise can be defeated in same vein. We messed up the day we paid militants in the ND money to keep them quite, from then on we've been paying trouble makers money keep civil.

The only answer to breakdown of law is justice, swift and absolute justice

mrvitalis:
Lamo it won't take 18 months if I was president honestly

Bandit get 2 weeks to surrender and serve their time in prison no amnesty

After that total ban on arrest of any bandit... Shoot them even if they surrender

Farmers Union to number members to join the nscdc amd would be given gun (ak47 and night vision, drone with heat map reading capacity)

Lolz, you think rulling this country is a joke right? what if those bandits disguise as farmers and use the same guns to start their usual business again?

Banditry is now a big business that even some of our security agents are involves, so Sultan is 100% correct by saying it could takes decades to come out of. This business is likely to continue irrespective of anyone in power until bandits had enough and lose interests in the business.

In other words, not in his lifetime since he negotiated for their amnesty.

They also called on Buhari to negotiate on their behalf.

Who is fooling who

Crime rate was so high in El Salvador, but when they had a president who is prepared to fight crime, crime rate has really reduce. State police and the political will, will end it in less than a decade. Even though it might not end, but it will be drastically reduce

Afrojuju2017:

Every gun nd every bullet have identity that can be tracked... Oga this things are not rocket science na this are basic

Bunch of bandits won't last 18 months under my government... Worse I hires Russians and Israeli military commanders

6 months self them try

Kill them and leave them to fertilize the soil they died

yemmit90:


Lolz, is like you takes this banditry of a thing to means Boko Haram that are fighting and dying for religion course.

Current bandits are business men who live among masses, and not permanently inside forest. Some are even coming from labouring countries to kidnap and take their victims to the said countries. What about saboteurs among intelligent officials who take a cut from the proceeds of the ransoms? Your Russsians and Israeli machineries will kill civilians and farmers tired, not real Bandits who are graciously enjoying their ransoms in hotels in Abuja.

All they need is information from military insiders to operate. Or your so called machineries will go into our forest withiout the help of Nigeria military? What elder seeing sitting on a stood, a boy will never see it even from top of a tree. Sultan is not a fool for making such statement, he live among them, and he knows better.

Until Bandits had enough, lose interest in kidnapping business, or the business is no longer profitable, there may not be the end to this manace in decades.

We are truly in problem in this country. From economic recession to insecurity. What is the way forward. The level of begging for food both online and offline is just alarming. Which way Nigeria
