The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Tuesday, said the Federal Government is ready to deploy Super Tucano fighter jets against bandits and terrorists. He also said his office was in the process of gazetting a court judgement that ordered the government to declare bandits as terrorists, adding that the process would be concluded in a matter of days. Malami spoke on Tuesday as a guest on NTA Good Morning Nigeria Show monitored by The PUNCH. But the AGF said on Tuesday that the coast had become clear to deploy the Super Tucano aircraft against bandits in the North-West and North-Central, following the court order declaring them as terrorists. And that is how the idea of looking at the activities of the bandits, cattle rustlers, kidnappers come into being.
