FG DECLARES BANDITS AS TERRORIST

Finally, FG declares bandits as terrorists.

The Federal Government of Nigeria, has declared bandits as terrorists, The PUNCH has learnt.

After weeks of footdragging, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), gazetted a court judgement that ordered the government to declare bandits as terrorists.

States in the North-West geopolitical zone including Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto and Kaduna have been ravaged by banditry in the last year. The nefarious activities of the marauders have also spilt into the North Central and other zones in the country. The bandits have killed hundreds of innocent persons, kidnapped several others including schoolchildren, with some still in their custody, while some are nursing injuries sustained during the attacks.

Court in Abuja on November 25, 2021, had granted an ex parte application by the Federal Government for Yan Bindiga (Hausa word for gunmen) and Yan Ta’adda (Hausa word for terrorists) to be declared as terrorists but the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), did not do so after over a month.

However, the AGF, in an interview on Tuesday, said his office was in the process of gazetting the court judgement, adding that the process would be concluded in a matter of days.

Also, a document released by Malami’s spokesman, Umar Gwandu, on Wednesday, showed that the AGF office had gazetted the court order.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas

               Merry Christmas Everyone!  THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS  Christmas is celebrated, it is a day set aside to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. Christmas is also a time to love and to share! Giving is the real meaning of Christmas because it is the very essence of love, unselfishness, and humility. Taking into consideration by remembering the priceless free gift that was given to us from above, let us celebrate it by showing one another, how much we value each other. Let us show our gratitude!
