Our unanimous position is to wipe out the bandits. We must go into these forests, nobody living in that forest is innocent, and just kill them all. It is the only way to end this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need the combination of air power, and we need troops on the ground augmented by local expertise and knowledge. We need just one, two, three months operation to just try to kill all the bandits. It\u2019s the only way to stop this. So long as these bandits are being paid, it\u2019ll remain a business. So the only option that we have is to ensure that we kill them all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kaduna governor said there\u2019s been a decline in the operation of bandits across the northern part of the country.<\/p>\n<p>He said the reduction in banditry is due to the efforts of the Nigerian air force.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very happy that the chief of air staff has been bombing them. So you\u2019ll see there\u2019s a decline in banditry. What you see is the coordinated action with air power, use of drones,\u201d el-Rufai said.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, noted that more advanced weapons must be acquired for the security agencies in order to make their operations more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the security agencies also need more advanced technology. The Air force needs more drones. Drones are much cheaper than planes and there are drones now that can carry missiles,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause they [the bandits] know when they hear the sound of the aircraft and hide in the bushes. But drones can be more targeted, more selective and quiet. And drones can also fly in circumstances that airplanes cannot due to bad weather.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has stated that his colleagues are in agreement that bandits must be\u00a0completely \u201cwiped out\u201d.
