He said the weak approach being used by the government has emboldened the bandits, adding that it is evident in the high rate of criminal activities by the armed group across the country, especially in the north.

“The Federal government treats this matter with kid gloves. If bandits are well-coordinated, they can take over the government of Nigeria.
“So this is a serious matter which government should give due consideration and the rate it’s going, this thing may consume all of us.

“These bandits, we are told, move in batches of 100 to 200 motorcycles in the night. What stops the Air Force from bombing them, but you cannot do that If you do not take over the territory.
“In the case of this war in Nigeria, all the security forces are on the defence. It’s when they are attacked that they react,” he said.
