He explained that the current government only proscribed IPOB, but gave a shoot-on-sight order against bandits.<\/p>\n

Shehu, who spoke on BBC News Pidgin, was reacting to a question on why the Buhari\u2019s administration has not outlawed bandits just as it proscribed IPOB.<\/p>\n

\u2018Those out to destroy my govt will be dealt with\u2019 \u2013 Buhari<\/p>\n

He stressed that the military is attacking bandits from the air and land.<\/p>\n

According to Shehu: \u201cWhat the Buhari administration has done to the arms-wielding bandits is worse than being declared as terrorists. There is a subsisting order by the President that any arms-wielding, AK-47 bandits should be shot on sight.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, IPOB has been proscribed by law of the land; there is no shoot-on-sight order.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian Air Force is busy bombing locations; the military is there on the ground, exchanging fire for fire, taking them out in hundreds, that is certainly not treating bandits lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
