Prosecution of bandits not the responsibility of FG – Lai Mohammed

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has come out to state that the prosecution of bandits is not the job of the Federal Government because it is not a federal offence.

The Minister made this known while speaking to Journalists in Abuja during a press conference, in response to the People’s Democratic Party’s accusations of the FG’s insensitivity on the issue of banditry nationwide.

In his statement, Lai Mohammed said: “The PDP alleged that kidnappers and bandits are not being brought to justice. This is apparently aimed at the Federal Government.”

“It is shocking that a party that ruled this nation for all of 16 years does not know that kidnapping and banditry are not federal offences.”

“The PDP should therefore call out the states, including those being controlled by it, to ensure a rigorous prosecution of arrested kidnappers and bandits.”

“Meanwhile, PDP conveniently forgot that as far as terrorism, a federal offence, is concerned, this Federal Government has successfully prosecuted thousands of Boko Haram members in Kainji, as part of a continuing exercise. We are now seeking the cooperation of the judiciary to continue with the trial of arrested terrorists.”
