“Nobody negotiated with them before they entered the bush, now that the fire is hitting them, they want to negotiate, well I won’t call it negotiation, they should just come out and surrender, negotiation is a trap they have done it in the past and it did not yield any result, so why still repeating the same mistakes again.”
The Commander disclosed that despite the rains, the troops have continued to invade trouble places and dislodge terrorists from their hideouts in Zurmi, Shinkafi, Tsafe, Dansadau and other areas in Zamfara State
He added that:
“Before now there are plenty places that we have not entered but as it is now, despite the rain we are going places where the bandits are not expecting, giving them bloody nose, if they want to survive, they should just surrender.”
He advised District Heads and communities to form groups that will protect their area when there is a distress call before the arrival of the troops as bandits have resulted in hitting on soft targets, especially on the sight of innocent citizens in the villages or Highways.
