Boza however faulted the current strategy employed by the federal government in dealing with bandits in the northwestern region.

 

“The federal government prefers negotiation and this is not working. The only thing they (terrorists) fear is war.

 

“If you negotiate with them, they will not surrender their guns. They will leave their boys behind to continue terrorizing innocent people. So the government should review its strategy and launch a full-pledged war on them,” he said.

 

Voice Air Media learnt that Governor Ahmed Aliyu has summoned an emergency security meeting over the renewed attacks in the area and other parts of the state.
