Former Senate Representative of Kaduna Central, Senator Shehu Sani has said that dialogue with bandits is a waste of time since they have no leader.
The Senator made this known on his Twitter account, @ShehuSani, adding that “Those Governors who tried it later regretted it.”
He said, “Dialogue with Bandits will not work because of these reasons; they are not an armed movement founded for the pursuit of any religious, ethnic or political causes, other than extortion by atrocious blackmail, abductions and cold-blooded murder of innocent citizens.”
“They are not united under a single leadership but operate in clusters and criminal gangs. Their motivation is money; they kill and abduct for money.
“Bandits are unlike Iswap and Boko elements whose acts of abduction, terrorist attacks and slaughter of innocent citizens are done under the guise of religion.”
