 The House of Representatives has asked President Muhammad Buhari to designate bandits as terrorists. The Senate had also made the same demand on Wednesday. At a plenary on Thursday, Chairman of the House Committee on the Defense Babajimi Benson moved a motion of urgent public importance, urging the law chamber to back the Senate. The motion was unanimously adopted through voice vote. Such an order will officially bring the activities of bandits and their sponsors within the purview of the Terrorism Prevention Act and any persons associated with such groups can then be legally prosecuted and sentenced to penalties specified in the act. Declaration of all bandits as terrorists may also encourage other countries to do so and help create a global consensus around dealing with transnational factors that feeds the domestic activities of such prescribed organisations and individuals. As previously observed in this House, no one action can be a silver bullet to solve an insecurity in Nigeria. But a collection of many effective actions and strategies can bring safety. It is in this period that I speak today, sir.
