‘Stop addressing bandits in English’ – Shehu Sani hits Buhari

Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker from Kaduna State, has hit out at President Muhammadu Buhari over the frequent attacks by bandits.

This comes after the president’s repeated warnings to bandits who unleash terror in parts of the north.

After the abduction of schoolgirls in Jangebe, Zamfara State, the president had said bandits were not more powerful than his government.

“The only thing standing between our security forces and the bandits are the rules of engagement,” Buhari had said.

But weeks after the incident, which the federal government said would be the last attack on schools, bandits struck at the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka, Kaduna, abducting 39 students.

Again, the president issued a fresh warning, saying the country will not allow the destruction of the school system.

Apparently fed up of the president’s empty threats, Sani asked the presidency to issue such warnings in a local language since the ones issued in English have been ineffective.

“All warnings issued to the Bandits should be made in the local language they can understand. Warning them in English is so far futile.” he tweeted.
