“We gave them the name bandits to just soft pedal, they are terrorists in reality” – Senator Bulkachuwa

Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa has said that bandits are infact terrorists as they carry out attacks that are not different from those of known terrorist groups.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday night, October 3, Bulkachuwa joined calls for bandits and their sponsors to be tagged terrorists as he reiterated that any group that disturbs the peace of the people should be termed terrorists.

He said; “We gave them the name bandit probably to just soft pedal because terrorism in the international arena is regarded as the most heinous crime that any group of people can engage in. They are terrorists in reality. What else are they? Anybody that does not allow people rest, what is he?”
