We must treat kidnappers as terrorists- President Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu says individuals involved in such despicable crimes like Kidnapping must be treated as terrorists. 

The president said this at a Ramadan dinner with members of the federal judiciary led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Olukayode Ariwoola.

Reiterating the government’s resolve to defeat banditry, President Tinubu said those who resort to kidnapping children are cowards, incapable of confronting the might of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

”We must treat kidnappers as terrorists. They are cowardly. They have been degraded. They look for soft targets. They go to schools and kidnap children and cause disaffections.

We must treat them equally as terrorists in order to get rid of them, and I promise you we will get rid of them,” the president said
