January 5, 2022 Middle Belt Forum Says President Buhari Has No Political Will To End Terrorism

Middle Belt Forum Says President Buhari Has No Political Will To End Terrorism

The Middle Belt Forum, MBF, has accused the Federal Government of lacking the political will to end terrorism in Nigeria.

MBF National President, Bitrus Pogu made the remark in response to reason adduced by the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, on why bandits have not been declared terrorists.

Malami had said the Federal Government was yet to declare bandits terrorist because it was adhering to international best practice.

However, Pogu, in a statement said, "as far as I am concerned, court orders are court orders and Malami has to obey it. If the court has made its declaration based on the practice of the people and their actions, they have been terrorizing people, they even shot down an aircraft, they have gone beyond the level of bandits and the court has declared them as terrorists and so it should be obeyed. And the action of Malami is an indication that there is no political will to end terrorism in Nigeria'', end of quote.

Inspiration FM recalls that Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Abuja Federal High Court, had in November 2021, declared bandits as terrorists.

Despite the court's ruling, the Buhari government is yet to take the necessary actions.
