We won't negotiate with bandits, terrorists - FG

Buhari receives security briefing Buhari receives security briefing

The Federal Government has said it won't negotiate with terrorists and bandits.

This disclosure was made by National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd) during the weekly ministerial briefing at the State House in Abuja.

He said the government would rather deploy all necessary forces to eliminate criminals.

According to him, negotiating with the criminals would suggest weakness and incapacity on the part of the government, The Nations reports.

He said the government would not succumb to blackmail and the use of criminals by proxies to harass innocent citizens.

“While the government is not averse to talking it must apply the necessary force because you can’t trust these people.

“Government wants to use military assets to eliminate them but if along the line, they come out, good. It paints the picture of weakness, incapacity,” Monguno said.
