A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, Thursday, said with
Nigeria’s worsening security situation, Nigerians should be allowed to
officially carry weapons in defending themselves.
Recall that terrorists on Monday night bombed
the Abuja-Kaduna rail tracks and attacked a train filled with passengers.
Subsequently, the Nigerian Railway Corporation on Tuesday
announced the suspension of train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route
indefinitely following the attacks.
The train attack was coming after terrorists, numbering over
200, on Saturday invaded the Kaduna International Airport located in Igabi
Local Government Area in Kaduna State, disrupting operation and killing one
security personnel of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.
The attack caused panic at the airport and reportedly
grounded a Lagos-bound AZMAN aircraft scheduled to take off at 12:30 pm.
But reacting to the recent security situation in a tweet on
his Twitter handle on Thursday, Sani who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th
Senate, noted that the government’s alleged inability to tame terrorists demand
that people be allowed to protect themselves.
He wrote, “If the government and security agencies can’t
crush these terrorists and Bandits kidnapping and killing our people in
Northern and Southern Kaduna, people should be officially allowed to carry same
weapons and let’s see who owns the land.”
