Maxwell Opara has raised concerns over the handling of terrorism and banditry cases in Nigeria, pointing to a troubling gap between official statements and actions. Speaking recently, he highlighted that many known criminals appear to move freely, while others face prosecution without clear evidence, creating confusion and undermining public trust.
“A country where the men bandits and the terrorists are having meetings with, and they said the government official said we know them,” Opara stated, emphasizing that acknowledgement of these criminals should lead to arrests and accountability, not inaction. He stressed that in cases involving terrorists, there is often sufficient evidence—videos, weapons, witnesses, and public claims—yet little is done to pursue justice.
Opara argued that terrorism charges must be handled with strong proof, insisting that investigators must match weapons to suspects and establish links beyond reasonable doubt. He cautioned against relying on assumptions or simple statements to label someone a terrorist, stressing that due legal process is essential to prevent miscarriages of justice.
He also noted that public discussions on court judgments should be informed and responsible, warning against blind commentary on social media that could spread misinformation. According to Opara, fairness and truth must guide conversations if Nigeria’s justice system is to retain credibility.
