The Federal Government is considering a ban on the use of motorbikes and mining activities in response to the terrorist assaults that occurred at the Kuje Correctional Facility on July 5 as well as other attacks that were reported nationwide.
Following Thursday’s Security Council meeting, which was presided over by President Major General Muhammadu Buhari, the Ministers of the Interior, Justice, and Police Affairs, Rauf Aregbesola, Abubakar Malami, and Maigari Dingyadi, informed State House Correspondents of this (retd.).
However, the cabinet members made no mention of whether the ban would apply nationwide or only in the effected areas of the nation.
They claim that the Council is considering ways to stop the terrorists’ access to the funding and logistics they need to carry out their wicked plans.
Malami revealed that the terrorists were able to go on motorcycles using money obtained from mining and used to buy weapons.
He claimed that the federal government was currently thinking of strategies to obstruct the already known sources.
The Minister of Justice added that the government’s assistance was required because the terrorists’ methods of fundraising had since developed to include ransom-taking and mining.
Despite the considerable intelligence obtained before to the attack on the Kuje Correctional Center, the interior minister, Aregbesola, said,
the terrorists succeeded because “there was no will to act.”
He said that President Buhari has a report on the initial investigation into the Kuje incident and that any officials who are found to have neglected their duties will be disciplined.
