In a bid to reduce bandit attacks on communities across Nigeria, TETFUND researchers have called for strict penalties such as the death penalty for bandits and their informants within the community to serve as deterrent to others.

The researchers led by their principal investigator, Professor Olajide Akanji, identified lapses in government responses to bandit attacks in communities to include the practice of releasing and returning arrested bandits back to communities which have undermined trust in the legal and security frameworks, deterring individuals from reporting suspicious activities due to fear of reprisal.

This was part of the research recommendations presented at an online validation workshop from university researchers who investigated Armed Bandits and Banditry in Nigeria: History, Character and Panacea using TETFUND Grant (TETF/ES/DR&D-CE/NRF/2020/HSS/03/VOL.1).

The participants who tasked President Bola Tinubu and state governors on rehabilitation and resettlement of victims, also called on the president to charge the service chiefs to deepen the use of non-kinetic rather than kinetic approaches.

According to them, there is “lack of implementation of decisions reached during investigations, leading to a disconnect between government promises and actionable results.”

They also called for increased collaboration among traditional institutions, security agencies, and community leaders to nip activities in the bud.

They found that there were reported successes where interagency collaboration was used in the fight against bandits.
