Kaduna State Gov. Uba Sani welcomes repentant bandits.
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has received some repentant bandits.
Speaking during an event in Birnin Gwari, the governor said his government collaborated with some federal agencies to establish ‘The Peace Dialogue Group’, to engage with stakeholders. ”Through numerous meetings and extensive discussions, we have built bridges of trust.
Several senior bandit leaders have laid their arms and embraced peace, along with their followers. These individuals are being enrolled in a rehabilitation programme designed by Kaduna State Government in partnership with the Federal Government.
This programme adheres to international standards of disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration, ensuring that these individuals can return to society as productive citizens. Our approach is based on the principle of carrot and stick. While we welcome those who choose peace, we will not hesitate to take decisive action against anyone who continues to perpetuate violence.
