The North-East Governors’ Forum has raised an alarm over the mass movement of bandit terrorists from the North West to the region.
The forum stated that the relocation of the bandits to the North West has affected the relative peace in the region and called on the Federal Government to come to their aid.
It was reported that the governors made this known in a communique released after the seventh meeting of the forum held in Gombe on Friday night.
The governors said the bombardment of the bandits by the Nigerian military led to the mass movement of the bandits to the region, saying that there is an urgent need to launch a coordinated security road map to dismantle the criminals.
According to the forum, there is a nexus between mining activities and insecurity, stressing the need for strict compliance with the Land Use Act
