The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has revealed why security agencies choose not to bomb bandits despite knowing their hideouts.
During an interview on Monday on Arise TV’s news programme, Onanuga said while security operatives have the necessary intelligence, their operations are often constrained by the risk of collateral damage to civilians being held by the bandits.
“The security people, they know all the bandits that are operating in that axis. They know them. They know where they operate.

“Our people are living around where they operate. So you can’t just go there. They need to be very careful that in the course of chasing these bandits, they don’t go and bomb innocent Nigerians.
“Some years ago in Borno State, when the military thought they had the right satellite connection, they bombed the wrong people. They must avoid that kind of mistake,” Onanuga stated.
