No More Talks: North-West Governors Launch Security Crackdown on Bandits
North-West governors have unanimously ruled out further negotiations with bandits after years of stalled peace deals. They insist on unconditional surrender and are shifting focus to tougher security measures. At a recent road commissioning in Katsina State, Sokoto’s governor announced that state governments will deepen collaboration with security agencies and invest in community-based policing structures to dismantle bandit networks. Previous peace talks dating back to 2016 only allowed bandits to regroup and rearm. Governors now call on residents to support patrols by reporting suspicious activity and backing the new State Community Guard initiative.
