A notorious bandit kingpin, Kachalla Ummaru, has warned Nigerian security agencies against a kinetic approach to tackling insecurity.
Ummaru issued the warning on Saturday, during peace talks between bandit groups and community leaders in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State.
A counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, shared a clip of Ummaru saying killing bandits only makes matters worse.
“If today you kill 10 bandits, tomorrow you’ll see 20. You kill 20, another 30 will rise both in our bushes and villages.
“Truth be told, the government doesn’t care about anyone, all it’s after is how to generate money. If the government cared about the people, all these things won’t be happening.
“If our boys mistakenly abduct anyone or if security operatives apprehend one of ours, stakeholders should be involved and see that the person taken is released,” he said.
Speaking to the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, of Danmusa LGA, Ummaru harped on the need to respect terms of agreement.
