In a revealing interview on Arise TV FROM 8:06, Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Chief Christopher Musa, shed light on the complexities faced by security forces in their efforts to combat banditry across the nation. Musa candidly addressed the geographical and logistical hurdles that often impede their operations.

“We know that they are in Nigeria, where in Nigeria is another thing,” Musa stated, highlighting the difficulty in pinpointing the exact locations of these mobile criminal groups. He elaborated on the time-sensitive nature of intelligence, explaining, “Most times, because of the vast nature of the area, once people see them at a particular area, before the information is related to us, sometimes it takes 24 hours.”

The Chief of Defence Staff emphasized the agility of these criminal elements, noting, “These guys (bandits) are mobile.” He went on to describe how the terrain often works to the bandits’ advantage: “Most of that area that you see, it is covered by forest. By the time they go under the forest, our surveillance drones cannot even see them.”

Musa stressed the unpredictable movement patterns of these groups, stating, “They don’t remain at a particular lane, they are always moving.” This constant mobility presents a significant challenge for security forces trying to track and apprehend them.

In light of these obstacles, Musa made a plea for increased civilian cooperation: “That is why we are re-seeking for the support of individuals.” This call for public assistance underscores the importance of timely information sharing in the fight against banditry.
