The federal government has described as “erroneous” the allegation it is treating bandits with leniency.

Few days ago,  Femi Falana, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), had accused the federal government of treating bandits with kid gloves.

Speaking on Tuesday when he featured on ‘Good Morning Nigeria’, a programme of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture disagreed with Falana, saying the same treatments are meted out to both bandits and terrorists.

The minister said: “I think we have been dancing around nomenclature. A criminal is a criminal, whether it is a bandit or terrorist, and the same measure is being meted out to them,”

“That is why we find it ridiculous, the accusation that the federal government is softer on bandits than the separatists and other criminals.

“This is a fallacy; fake news and misinformation all into one. And this is the kind of divisive rhetoric being promoted by some naysayers.”
