- The Chairman suggests 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 bandits amnesty and financial packages, drawing a comparison to the successful program implemented for Niger Delta militants.
The Chairman’s statement suggests that a non-military, incentivized approach—mirroring the strategy used to calm militancy in the Niger Delta—could be effective in addressing the escalating banditry and kidnapping crisis currently plaguing parts of the country, particularly the North.
The proposal has stirred immediate debate, as it suggests rewarding criminal elements responsible for widespread violence, abductions, and economic disruption.
