Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that in what will come to any Nigerians as 'another bad news', some people have lost their lives in Kaduna state after armed bandits opened fire on some vehicles.
This was disclosed by Samuel Aruwan, commissioner for internal security and home affairs, in a statement on Friday, February 5.
According to him, the bandits opened fire on the commuters while running away from “aggressive patrols” by security agencies in the area.
Legit.ng also reported that Lai Mohammed, Nigeria's minister of information and culture, has said that bandits might be ready to listen to renowned Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Abubakar Mahmoud Gumi more than the federal government.
Mohammed made the disclosure while speaking on TVC’s This Morning show monitored by The Punch on Friday, February 5.
According to the minister, the government was using some back channels to tackle Nigeria's security challenges, adding that there's nothing unusual for the Kaduna-based Islamic cleric to act as a bridge.
This development is coming a day after the fearless Islamic cleric took a bold step to dialogue with the armed criminals in a bid to hear their grievances and possibly fashion out a workable method of stopping the bloodletting.
