Published




A former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has claimed that the killings and kidnappings by bandits in Kaduna State have outpaced those carried out in Yemen and Libya.

While lamenting the spate of killings and kidnapping by bandits in the state Sani said that at least 1,192 people were killed last year across the state.

In the statement released to his 2.1M Twitter Followers, the senator added that more than 3,000 people have been kidnapped in the state by bandits.

“That bandit killed 1,192 and kidnapped over three thousand in Kaduna last year alone, outpaced the number of people killed and abducted in Yemen and Libya,” he tweeted.

Sani however urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari to secure the state before he retires at the end of his tenure in 2023.

“If this is the state the president wants to retire and settle, he must secure it first,” he added,

Meanwhile, WuzupNigeria reported last month that bandits have been officially declared as terrorists in Nigeria as detailed in a gazette signed by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN).
