Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has asked the Nigeria military to carpet-bomb forests used as hideout by terrorists group known as bandits in the Northern states of the country and ignored collateral damage which implies innocent casualties that may be kidnapped victims and children born and raised by suspected members of the terrorists group.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai made the call on Monday while speaking on Arise TV.

“Let’s carpet-bomb the forests and bomb all of them. There will be collateral damage, but it’s better to wipe them out and get people back to our communities so that agriculture and rural economics can pick up.

“I’ve always believed that you know, we should carpet-bomb the forests; we can replant the trees after.

“These bandits operate in the periphery because their hiding place is in the forest. It’s a major problem. The security agencies are doing their best but they are overstretched.

“The reality is we don’t have enough boots on the ground to address the myriad of security challenges that we face, and these security challenges are asymmetric, widespread, and there’s no part of Nigeria that doesn’t have one security problem or the other.

“Ramp up the number of boots and more technology and more investment in armament and wipe these guys once and for all”, El-Rufai said.
