Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, said President
Muhammad Buhari was not aware of bandits’ threat to capture him.
Recall that the the terrorists on Sunday July 24, 2022,
after they had flogged the remaining 43 Abuja-Kaduna train victims in the
forest, vowed in a trending video to capture Buhari and El-rufai.
However, Governor El-rufai, while speaking on a Radio
Programme, on Wednesday night, said he had been warned to be careful.
“I also heard about a video where they threatened to abduct
Buhari and myself. I have been warned to be careful, including my families
too,” he said.
According to him, for the past five years, he had been
advocating for the bombing of terrorists’ camps wherever they were, adding that
it was the only solution to the problem.
El-rufai said, “This is why I met with the president on
Sunday and told him about these problems. I also told him about the video
because up to that day, he was not even aware. I told him and the following
day, Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle also confirmed to him that he saw
the video too, so as to take action.”
According to him, the President assured him that he met with
the service chiefs 3-4 days before the meeting and that he gave them a clear
directive to have a comprehensive military operation to deal with those people.
He added that “we hope, God willing, the soldiers and the
police that were given the directives will hasten up to finish the job. We
don’t have to wait until they (terrorists) strike before we respond.
“They (soldiers) must go after them wherever they are to
deal with them. The truth is we are worried about the security situation, but
we hope the federal government will do the right thing.”
