Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central lawmaker at the 8th Senate, has advised the Nigerian military to show evidence whenever it kills bandits.
Mr Sani who gave the advise on Sunday said bandits leave evidences of their atrocities when committed and same should be applicable to those fighting them.
Security agencies in the country often claim to have fought and defeated those who take up arms against the state.
For instance, the Nigeria Police had in February claimed to have wiped out about 250 bandits terrorising Kaduna residents. At the time, Mr Sani advised the force to show evidence of the operation if Nigerians are going to take their word for what it is, they are yet to adhere to that advise.
“Whenever the Bandits Kills,we see the evidence of their dastardly and cruel acts;Whenever you kill the Bandits,let’s see the evidence of your courageous and heroic acts,” the former lawmaker advised in a tweet on Sunday.
Whenever the Bandits Kills,we see the evidence of their dastardly and cruel acts;Whenever you kill the Bandits,let’s see the evidence of your courageous and heroic acts.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari, has promised that security operatives will not take it lightly again when fighting bandits who have refused to surrender their arms.
