“Please Stop Killing Them” — Wife of Deceased Bandit Tearfully Tells Nigerian Military

A video circulating widely on social media shows the wife of a deceased suspected bandit, identified as Muhammad, making an emotional plea to Nigerian soldiers amid ongoing anti-banditry operations.

In the video, she addresses her missing husband, saying, “Oh, my beloved Muhammad, the love of my life. If you are alive, may Allah grant that we meet again. If you are no longer alive, may Allah curse the security operative who killed you.”

She urged the military to exercise restraint when dealing with suspected criminals, stressing that suspects should be captured alive and face proper legal procedures rather than being k+lled after arrest. “Killing them after arrest is wrong. Please ensure suspects face proper legal procedures,” she emphasized.

Her appeal comes amid growing public concern over alleged extrajudicial killings during anti-banditry efforts, sparking nationwide discussions about the need for accountability, human rights, and due process in security operations.See more, details. .
