“The proscribed organisation attacked the police checkpoint unprovoked, wielding machetes, improvised explosive devices and knives.“While several arrests have been effected, the Commissioner of Police FCT, Benneth C. Igweh, condemns the unprovoked attack on officers. Recall that a Nigerian court ruled on July 26, 2019, that IMN activities amounted to “acts of terrorism and illegality” and ordered the government to ban the group.
A university don, Prof. Bello Bada, disclosed this in an interview with Radio France International’s Hausa service, which was monitored in Kaduna yesterday. He blamed the activities of bandits in the area on security lapses. He said the acts should not be left unchecked and allowed to become a recurring decimal. He alleged: “Where these bandits are coming from is well known, but the appropriate action against them is not adequately taken.”
“We all have agreed that the security operatives have the expertise to face this problem head-on and bring it to an end. It appears the political leaders are not giving them the support they need to overcome this menace,” he said.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
