99.9% of Bandits in North-West, North-Central Are Nigerians – Security Expert Yahuza Getso

Security intelligence analyst Yahuza Getso has sparked debate after stating that 99.9% of bandits t*rr*rising the North-West and North-Central are Nigerians, not foreign fighters as many believe.

Speaking during a TV interview, Getso said authorities know who these criminals are:

“They are Nigerians. We know them, we know where they operate. They are not hiding in any strange or difficult place.”



His comment comes amid fresh outrage over rising insecurity, including the recent Kebbi schoolgirls’ abd*ction and continuous att@cks on rural communities.

Getso’s claim has trigger*d reactions nationwide, with many Nigerians asking why security agencies have not taken decisive action against the groups if their identities and locations are known.

The statement adds pressure on government and military officials already facing criticism over the alarming state of security in the region.
