The Federal Government says it is set for the deployment of 12 Super Tucano jets against bandits as part of concerted efforts by President Muhammadu Buhari to end terrorism before 2023.
The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice last night confirmed that the procedures were almost met.
According to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, government has also started perfecting the conditions for the release of a gazette, which will legally classify bandits as terrorists.
But, the United States (U.S.) has not given a blank cheque to Nigeria on the use of the fighter jets.
