It is totally unacceptable that bandits raid rural communities, abduct school children, kidnap the rich and poor, kill Nigerians as if they slaughter animals, amass wealth through ransom from government and ordinary Nigerians, and still live to repeat these criminal acts multiple times over. It is equally unacceptable that Boko Haram could infest territories and make them impossible for Nigerians to inhabit, and the terrorists sustain this humiliating status quo for over a decade. Apart from draining resources from the treasury, the activities of bandits and terrorists have brought Nigeria low among the comity of nations, and frustrated the country’s potentials for economic growth.
