There’s nothing like repentant terrorists, let them go and see God – Governor El-Rufai

The executive Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El Rufai has stated that he doesn’t believe in the rehabilitation of terrorists.

Addressing state house correspondents after a meeting with President Buhari over an attack in Kaduna state which claimed the lives of over 40 people, he stated that their intention is for terrorists to be killed.

El-Rufai said; “There is nothing like repentant terrorists. The only repentant bandit is the one that is dead. Our intention in the state is to kill them (terrorists), let them go and see God.”

The Kudana State governor noted that the three terrorist groups presently terrorising the country are the Boko Haram insurgents, the bandits, and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

He further stated that the recent declaration of bandits as terrorists has given the military more power to wage war against them. and that the whereabouts of bandits are not hidden but the military is wary of the collateral damage it could cause civilian communities.

He also disclosed that he asked for the intervention of the President for more deployment of security personnel for a comprehensive operation and called on the security agencies to carry out aggressive operations against the terrorists.
