Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of Federation and Minister of Justice, of Nigeria, has said that the Federal Government is yet to officially designate bandits as terrorists because the government is following international best practices.
“Whatever military hardware you acquire there are limits within the context of the international convention as to how it can be used, when it can be used and against who it can be used. And that is how the idea of looking at the activities of the bandits, cattle rustlers, kidnappers come into being."
He said his office was in the process of gazetting a court judgement that ordered the government to declare bandits as terrorists, adding that the process would be concluded in a matter of days.
