According to Gumi, both the Army and Air Force have been carrying out ground and air strikes that have resulted in the deaths of the bandits’ families.
Speaking during an X Space event organized by Obasanjonews24.com, Gumi emphasized the need for a non-kinetic approach to effectively address the activities of the bandits in the North.
He believes that while the military plays a crucial role, there should be a synergy between non-kinetic and kinetic approaches.
Gumi argues that starting with a non-kinetic approach would provide an opportunity for better intelligence and knowledge, which can then be utilized in negotiations and subsequent military actions if necessary.
