In August we filed a suit in the Federal High Court, Abuja to declare bandits as terrorists and the matter was slated for Monday, 29th November.
On the 26th of November 2021, the Ministry of Justice rushed to court via exparte motion to apply for the same prayer after being served by our legal team.
While we celebrate this win, having been able to “incentive” the FG to act, we hope the Federal Government takes seriously the numerous acts of terror and uses this judgement as a tool to halt the activities of terrorists in Nigeria.
