By Johnbosco Agbakwuru

ABUJA — FORMER Senate Leader, Senator Ali Ndume on Thursday, threw his weight to the order by the Minister of Defence, Ge. Christopher Musa (retd) to the military to shoot on sight any terrorists or bandits, saying sustained military pressure, not negotiations or concessions, remains the surest path to ending insecurity in Nigeria.

Fielding question from State House correspondents after meeting behind closed-doors with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Senator Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District also kicked against reintegration of repentant terrorists in the society.

He also said those who aid criminal groups should be treated as accomplices.
