Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has said he
would not hesitate to bring in foreign mercenaries to fight terrorists in the
state if the Federal Government fails to end the incessant attacks.
The governor stated this on Friday while speaking with
journalists shortly after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari on recent attacks
in the state.
Reacting to the Abuja-Kaduna train attack and the general
insecurity in the country, El-Rufai said the state governors may not have a
choice but to find means of protecting the lives and properties of their people
if the FG fails.
Speaking in Hausa, El-Rufai said, “I have complained to Mr
president and I swear to God, if action is not taken, we as governors will take
actions to protect the lives of our people.
“If it means deploying foreign mercenaries to come and do
the work, we will do it to address these challenges.”
Gunmen have been on a rampage in
Kaduna State killing unsuspecting residents and abducting many in coordinated
attacks.
