- The Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has reportedly suggested that the federal government introduce amnesty and financial incentives for bandits, similar to previous schemes adopted for Niger Delta militants.
- The Chairman said this approach could be an effective non-military solution to the escalating banditry and kidnapping crisis in the country.
The Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has reportedly proposed that the federal government should grant amnesty and financial assistance to bandits, comparing it to the successful program implemented against militants in the Niger Delta.
The Chairman’s statement demonstrates that a non-military, motivational approach – modeled on the strategies used to quell militants in the Niger Delta – can effectively address the escalating banditry and kidnapping crisis currently plaguing parts of the country, particularly in the north.
The proposal immediately sparked debate because it suggested rewarding criminals responsible for widespread violence, kidnappings and economic destruction.
