We Won’t Surrender To Criminals -KDSG
The Kaduna State Government has reiterated its stance not to negotiate with bandits and insisted that only total annihilation of the criminals would end banditry.
The government was reacting to some commentators who blamed it for asserting that the government would not reward hoodlums.
The criticism of the government followed mass abduction of students and the killing of at least five of them recently.
The commentators had also unearthed a video clip in which Governor Nasir El-Rufai had berated President Goodluck Jonathan for not negotiating with the abductors of the Chibok school girls in 2014.
The government reaction was contained in a statement issued by Muyiwa Adekeye, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication, issued in Kaduna last Tuesday.
