Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, on Sunday listed
reasons state governors, and the Federal Government can’t dialogue with
bandits.
Sani disclosed that bandits are not like Boko Haram and
ISWAP that murder people under the guise of religion.
He said bandits are armed movement pursuing religious,
ethnic, or political agenda.
He said bandits have no single leadership but operate in
clusters and as criminal gangs.
Tweeting, the sociopolitical commentator wrote: “Dialogue
with bandits will not work because of these three 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.
“Two, they are not united under a single leadership but
operate in clusters and criminal gangs; three, 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 is done under
the guise of religion.
“Dialogue with Bandits is a waste of time. Those governors
who tried it later regretted it.”
