Bandits, terrorists better armed than Nigerian Army – Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has said that bandits and terrorists in the country are better armed than Nigerian soldiers.

Lawal made the remarks on Monday during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.

He was commenting on the country’s security situation.

“Is it amazing that these bandits and terrorists are from the same tribe and religion? They are better armed than the Nigerian soldiers; the resources at their disposal are quite enormous, proof that somebody somewhere is funding them.

“Does it not occur to you that someone or a group of people somewhere are funding them? Because resources at their disposal are so enormous. The only thing they have not started doing is to fly helicopters and carry out their heinous activities,” he said.
