We Have Wiped Out Bastards Terrorising Kaduna-Abuja Road – Ribadu

Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser (NSA), says Nigerians can now drive through the Abuja-Kaduna highway at night because security operatives have killed terrorists on the road.

Speaking at an interactive session on government-citizen engagement organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF) in Kaduna, on Tuesday, Ribadu said the government officials, including ministers, who attended the session, travelled to Kaduna by road at night.

The national security adviser said due to the efforts of security operatives, the once-notorious Abuja-Kaduna highway is now safe.
Ribadu said terrorists have made several attempts to attack the Abuja-Kaduna train but were repelled by security operatives.

“You drive from Abuja to Kaduna at night now because we have killed these bastards — Kachalla Boka, Dogo Isah, and Kachalla Shekau— they were in control of those areas; we killed them,” he said.

“Not to talk of the terrorists, those who attacked our train. They attempted to attack two to three times in this administration, and we repelled them, but we don’t talk.

“I thought I could share with you that even last night, we drove at night from Abuja. It is a statement that we wanted to make. All the ministers and everybody.

“We stopped everyone from flying — no more flying. Next time, when we go to Isa or Shinkafi, we are going to drive. You can still drive in those areas. Politics will not allow people to give us credit; it is okay and fine. Nigerians will feel it, northerners will feel it; things are changing.”
