A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, says bandits have blocked the Abuja-Kaduna highway, preventing travellers and other road users to access the road.
In a tweet on his verified Twitter handle on Thursday, he alleged that road users have begun turning back from the road to seek alternative routes and prevent a possible attack on them.
The tweet read, “Just got a distress call that bandits in large numbers have again blocked the Kaduna-Abuja road this afternoon. Travellers are speedily turning backwards.”
Recall that Sani had earlier today warned that with Nigeria’s worsening security situation, Nigerians should be allowed to officially carry weapons in defending themselves.
Today’s development comes barely 72 hours after terrorists on Monday night bombed the Abuja-Kaduna rail tracks and attacked a train filled with passengers.
The train attack was coming after terrorists on Saturday invaded the Kaduna International Airport, disrupting operation, killing one security personnel and preventing a flight from taking off.
