Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State has described bandits terrorising people in parts of the country as enemies of humanity who should be treated as such.
He made the remark on Tuesday when he received a delegation of Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, led by its Chairman, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State.
The delegation was in Sokoto to commiserate with the government and people of the state over recent attacks by bandits, including the burning to death of 23 travellers.
Tambuwal also called on all stakeholders to support President Muhammadu Buhari to bring the situation under control.
He appreciated the Governors forum for the solidarity visit, and commended Fayemi for demonstrating good leadership and standing with the governors in any situation, irrespective of party affiliation.
Earlier, Chairman of the Forum said the visit was to commiserate with Tambuwal over the unfortunate attacks, especially the loss of lives.
It would be recalled that 23 people were set ablaze in the bus they were travelling by bandits in Isa Local Government Area of the state on December 6.
