Buhari not aware of threat to kidnap him until I told him about the video – El-rufai

Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-rufai said President Muhammadu Buhari was not aware of bandits’ threat to capture him.

Terrorists who abducted the Kaduna-Abuja train passengers had threatened to kidnap president Muhammadu Buhari and Governor El-Rufai

Reacting to this,Governor El-rufai, while speaking on a Radio Programme, on Wednesday night, said he had been warned to be careful.

According to him, for the past five years, he had been advocating for the bombing of terrorists’ camps as it was the only solution to the problem

“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.

“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.”

“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.”
