So that is what makes negotiation with the bandits a very difficult task,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I said is that I would never go into negotiations with any criminal from the point of weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He added that the set-up of the bandits and the structure of their leadership make negotiations practically impossible Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda has alleged that some security personnel and government officials collude with armed non-state actors terrorising many parts of the country to plunge Nigeria into perennial security crisis.
