Sen Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna lawmaker, Sen Shehu Sani has said that it would be hard for terrorists to hide over 200 pupils that were abducted without being detected.

Sani explained that Kaduna does not have thick forests and lies on the Savanna geographical belt like most northern states of Nigeria, making it difficult for them to be hidden.

Recall that no less than 280 school pupils were abducted from their school by terrorists in Kuriga, Kaduna State.

Sani, in a post on his X handle, said the terrorists have limited options, adding that the pupils’ freedom will be secured.

He wrote: “Kaduna, like most northern states of Nigeria, lies on the Savanna geographical belt. We don’t have thick forests where over 200 pupils can be hidden without being detected using the best of technology. Locating them is one thing and the next challenge is the thought of the consequences of the use of force to rescue them. I believe that the defence and security agencies are weighing on the best and safest ways. The terrorists have limited options. I’m optimistic that the pupils’ freedom will be secured.”
