“It is time for the Nigeria Air Force and Nigerian Army to bomb the terrorists out of existence” – El-Rufai

Governor of Kaduna state Nasir El-Rufai has admonished security agencies to take extreme measures to terminate bandits and terrorists.

The governor made the call at a stakeholders meeting in Giwa, Kaduna State, where terrorists had been invading communities in the last five days, with several people killed or kidnapped.

He called for a military theatre command headquarters to be established for the Northwest region.

He said: “We have been pressing for the past two years for the military from the air and the ground to bomb these forests while soldiers on the ground kill all those that escape the bomb.

“I do not believe that there is any innocent person in the forest.

“It is my intention to see Mr President to reiterate this and to also ask that a military theatre command headquarters be established for the Northwest geo-political zone.

“It is time for the Nigeria Air Force and Nigerian Army to bomb the terrorists out of existence.

“With the declaration by the Federal High Court that these bandits are terrorists, there is need for security agencies to take extreme actions to terminate these bandits,’’ El-Rufa’i stressed
