As calls for the Federal Government to declare Bandits as terrorists continues, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said the fact that bandits are imposing levies on communities does not mean they have taken control.
Mohammed stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday while reacting to an article by The Economist magazine titled, ‘Insurgency, secessionism and banditry threaten Nigeria.’
He added that the London-based magazine was wrong to claim that terrorists had carved caliphates for themselves in the North-East.
