President Muhammdu Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Saturday said that federal government has treated bandits worse than the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Shehu, who spoke on BBC News Pidgin, noted that the current administration only proscribed IPOB, but gave a shoot-on-sight order against bandits.
“Yes, IPOB has been proscribed by law of the land; there is no shoot-on-sight order.
“The Nigerian Air Force is busy bombing locations; the military is there on the ground, exchanging fire for fire, taking them out in hundreds, that is certainly not treating bandits lightly.”
