Adamu Garba, former presidential aspirant, on Friday tweeted that raining bullets on bandits won’t halt the insecurity in the country.

Garba was reacting to the abduction of over 300 schoolgirls from Jangebe in Zamfara State by suspected bandits.

The rate of the mass abduction of students by bandits in the north has become alarming in recent times.

Just a week ago, bandits kidnapped students and workers of Government Science College in Kagara, Niger State.

Bandits had also last year kidnapped over 300 schoolboys from Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.

Aside from Kankara and Kagara, non-state actors had also abducted hundreds of secondary school girls from Chibok, in Borno State; and Dapchi in Yobe State.

However, in a tweet on Friday, Adamu Garba said attacking bandits with guns won’t solve have the problem facing the country.

We can stay here and keep trending #RescueJangebeGirls #Rescue*****, as long as we refuse to accept that the insecurity in the North is pushed by the high level of injustice by the northern elite against the ordinary people, not even U.S DoD can fix this issue with bullets”
“It is in all available records that Boko Haram emerged 90% out of social neglect than ideology. It seems we haven’t learned a lesson. Instead of us to try & correct the problem, we went with state power to fight & kill. Govt, yet again think using bullets will solve banditry. Sad”
The political elites can keep pretending. But as long as the deep level of neglect & injustice has reached a point of betrayal of trust. We may continue to witness security issues to the point where our armed forces will get tired. We must get into the mud & fix our problems.”
This is coming as a result of the declaration of war on bandits by the Buhari led government.
Recall that we earlier reported the reactions of Nigerians over the incessant abduction in the north.
