Superior firepower only solution to ending terrorism – Mahdi Shehu
Public affairs commentator, Mahdi Shehu has called for a tougher response to terrorism, saying terrorists understand only one language and should not be granted amnesty or forgiveness.
Shehu made the remarks in a post shared on his official X account on Monday while reacting to a video showing suspected bandits piling stacks of cash on the head of another suspected bandit.
In the post, he expressed frustration over the actions of terrorists, saying they were damaging Nigeria’s image before the international community.
“See how miscreants are insulting and reducing us into laughing stocks in the eyes of the international community,” he wrote.
According to Shehu, military action remains the most effective way to deal with terrorists.
“This young terrorist and criminals understand only one language… superior fire power,” he wrote.
He also rejected calls for amnesty for terrorists, arguing that they should instead face the full weight of the law.
“They don’t deserve amnesty or forgiveness but death as a deterrent,” Shehu stated.
