Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State on Thursday reiterated his call for the massive bombardment of terrorist hideouts across forests in the state.
El-Rufai noted that terrorists deserved not to live, saying that it was time for the Nigerian Air Force to “bomb terrorists out of existence”.
According to the governor, that’s the only way to end the current insecurity across the North-West and the entire country.
He stated this at a stakeholder meeting at Giwa Local Government Area of the state where terrorists killed over 50 in nine villages across the country last Friday.
The governor said, “We have been pressing for the past two years for the military from the air and the ground to bomb these forests while soldiers on the ground kill all those that escape the bomb.
“I do not believe that there is any innocent person in the forest.
“It is my intention to see Mr President to reiterate this and to also ask that a military theatre command headquarters be established for the Northwest geo-political zone.”
