30 Sep Senate tells Buhari to declare bandits as terrorists

The Senate has urged President Buhari to declare bandits as terrorists. During the plenary on Wednesday, the senators also asked the President to declare all the known leaders of the bandits wanted and track them wherever they are for arrest and prosecution.

The resolutions followed a motion moved by the Senator representing Sokoto East, Senator Ibrahim Abdullahi Gobir, and eight others.

Senator Gobir lamented that his senatorial district has become a safe haven for bandits fleeing from the current onslaught against them in Zamfara State.
