Peace agreements with terrorists and armed bandits seldom deliver sustainable peace and could wind up promoting more crime, according to the Nigerian Senate, which has urged state governments to cease negotiating such deals.
In addition, the lawmakers urged the Nigerian Police Force and the National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre to track down and apprehend thugs active on social media, particularly TikTok.
According to the Senate, a number of them are seen with substantial sums of money that are thought to have been obtained through illicit means.
This decision was made in response to a motion put forth by Senator Sunday Karimi concerning recent attacks in the Kogi West Senatorial District.
Terrorists tried to abduct kids taking the Senior School Certificate Examination in Iluke-Bunu, which is in the Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State, according to Karimi’s testimony before the Senate.
He asserts that the assault resulted in the demise of the vice principal, a teacher, and an additional resident of the school.
