The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to declare bandits causing mayhem in the North-West as terrorists.

El-Rufai, who made the call when he received the third quarter security report from the state’s Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in Kaduna, said the declaration of bandits as terrorists would inspire the Nigerian military to attack and kill the bandits without breaching international law.

The National Assembly had recently asked President Muhammadu Buhari to declare the bandits as terrorists.
