Food shortage: Kill bandits in the North – El-Rufai to NSA

Food shortage: Kill bandits in the North – El-Rufai to NSA

A member of the House of Representatives from Kaduna North,
Bello El-Rufai, has urged the National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu to
kill all bandits disrupting the activities of farmers in the North.

 

El-Rufai said eliminating bandits would allow farmers in the
North return to their farmlands, a situation that would improve food
production.

 

He made the appeal at the Youth Action Event, titled “Summit
of the Future: Our Common Agenda,” organized by the Central Bank of Nigeria,
CBN, in Abuja.

 

The lawmaker harped on the impact of insecurity on Nigeria’s
rising food prices.

 

El-Rufai urged the NSA representative at the event to
“continue to kill the bandits.”

 

According to El-Rufai: “Increased food prices have
contributed significantly to our high inflation rate.

 

“Bandits have chased farmers off their farms and as long as
they cannot access their farms, food prices will remain high.”

 

This is coming amid the continued military onslaught against
bandits in the North.

 

Popular and dreaded bandit leader, Bello Turji has been on
the run since the military launched attacks to capture or eliminate him.

 

Amid the onslaught, Turji’s son was killed by troops while
the notorious bandit leader remains at large.
