Kaduna governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has kicked against the concept of a repentant terrorist. According to him, the best way to deal with the persons terrorising Nigerians is to kill them.

The revealed his stand  while briefing state house correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.

His visit to this state house was to brief the president on the recent attack which led to the death of 40 persons in Kaduna state.

el-Rufai noted that he does not believe in rehabilitating terrorists.

“There is nothing like repentant terrorists. The only repentant bandit is the one that is dead. Our intention in the state is to kill them (terrorists), let them go and see God,” he said.

He also pointed out that whereabouts of the bandits are not hidden but that the military is wary of the collateral damage it could cause the civilian community.

The governor said there are three types of terrorists; the Boko Haram insurgents, the bandits, and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

He said the recent declaration of bandits as terrorists has given the military more power to wage war against them.
