Buhari govt knows where kidnappers, bandits are – Lai Mohammed

Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, said the President Muhammedu Buhari-led federal government knows the whereabouts of the kidnappers terrorizing the country.

According to the minister who disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, May 11, the federal government is only being careful.

He said the refusal of the military to invade hideouts of the criminals is to reduce minimal casualties of the side of civilians held hostage in such camps.

He faulted the insinuation in some quarters that the government was clueless, adding that the result of the Buhari administration’s efforts would soon be evident.

He said caution ought to be applied in such situations to ensure those that are supposed to be saved don’t end up as victims.

Mohammed said; “Usually, the location of the kidnappers is not unknown to security forces, but they still have to exercise caution in order not to hurt the same children they are trying to rescue.

“Despite these inhibitions, the security forces have the wherewithal to decisively tackle the challenges.”
