First of all, he suggested interfering with their capacity to enlist new members. He also underlined how critical it is to deny them access to firearms.

He said in an interview with Arise TV, ”4 years ago I was privy to see a document that showed all the camps where these bandits are domiciled. And then assuming that we don’t know this, the UN a few months ago reminded us and what did they do. They engaged researchers who are Nigerians who have that knowledge.
