There are no bandits in Nigeria.
The belittling of the murder and atrocities these people commit by calling them bandits, is a media propaganda by their sponsors in government to diminish the level of horror of what these criminals do to innocent Nigerians.
People who massacre citizens, kidnap schoolchildren, attack military formations, burn communities, and hold entire regions hostage are not bandits.
These are terrorists
The media must stop sanitising their crimes with softer language. Calling terrorists “bandits” trivializes murder, kidnapping, rape, arson, and the destruction of lives.
Call them what they are
They are terrorists.
Anything less is a disservice to their victims and a crime to the pain they inflict on every Nigerian.
This man called A.B. Adebayo and his wife were kidnapped from their residence in Iluke-Bunu, Kabba/Bunu LGA of Kogi State, three weeks ago. That was the day their lives changed forever.
As if that was not enough trauma for family and friends, here’s how the terrorists are showing their loved ones that they mean business - humiliating torture.
This is happening daily in Nigeria and yet the Nigerian so called President is busy begging and appealing to terrorists to surrender rather than go after them with the weapons they spend hundreds of millions of dollars purchasing every year to combat terrorism.
Everyday I understand better why the Military used to Shoot Violent Criminals to Death at the Beach in front of the General Public to serve as a Deterrent. There are too many Evil People in Nigeria. How do you Lock your blood sister up in a Room for 4 yrs bcos of a Dispute? 🤬😰
Abdulsalami Abubakar's place in #Nigeria's history was secure long before he was prevailed upon to ensure the return to #CivilRule in 11 months between June 1998-May 1999.
In October 1979, just returned from service with UNIFIL in Lebanon, he commanded the parade that pulled out Gen Olusegun Obasanjo on his last regimental tour of duty as Nigeria's military Head of State.
20 yrs later, now as Military Head of State, he was present again in handing over to Olusegun Obasanjo on his return to office as Nigeria's elected president.
In the 27 yrs since he retired from active service, Gen. Abdulsalami has been a Continental peace-maker & statesman. He served with Thabo Mbeki on the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel #AUHIP on Sudan.
Born #OnThisDay in 1942, Gen. Abdulsalami is 84 today. #HappyBirthday, sir.🎂🙏🎂

A woman was allegedly held captive at MPAPE ABUJA by her own brother for 4 years after a dispute over cement business. A lot ev!l is happening in this country.
How can you hate Peter Obi because he is Igbo ? So will you not buy drugs because the dealers are Igbo? Why will you descend so low to tribalism? Should we also judge the Fulani’s! We want integrity & capacity.
A man made a video warning the government about a potential danger on the newly constructed coastal road. Rather than investigate the issue and fix the problem, guess what happened?
They tracked him down and arrested him.
Imagine raising a safety concern that could help prevent disaster, only to be treated like a criminal.

So, the late Major General Rabe was buried today after the terrorists released his corpse. Now be pertinent question is, who was the body released to and why?
Nigeria is a country of particular concern indeed.
