Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has ruled out amnesty and negotiations with bandits who have killed many and destroyed properties in the state.
The governor confirmed the killing of over 50 people by bandits in Kerewa, Rago, Marina, Zariyawa, Hashimawa, Gidan Musa Saidu and Unguwar Barau villages in the Igabi and Giwa local government areas of the state on Sunday.
He said, “We have asked the security agencies to just wipe them out and we will not rest until the bandits are completely wiped out. He said, “The security agencies are doing the best they can, but they find it difficult to get to remote areas in good time due to poor access roads while the natives also find it difficult to get to them due to poor GSM network.
Some of the villagers told the governor that the bandits invaded their villages in large numbers in the early hours of Sunday. Sani said, “The mass killing of innocent people in Kerawa village and the surrounding villages in Kaduna State by suspected bandits stands unreservedly condemned. “The criminals cannot be lucky always; we are determined to frustrate and defeat them, and no matter how long they run or where they hide, they would be smoked out and brought to justice.”
