Former Senator Shehu Sani praised the security agencies for their efforts in ensuring the safety of travelers on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
Allub Times recalls that the Abuja-Kaduna expressway has been a target for kidnappings and attacks by bandits who hide at various points along the road.
However, Sani mentioned in a tweet on Wednesday that security personnel are now stationed at the spots previously occupied by terrorists.
He wrote: “Yesterday, the railways sold tickets but suspended services because of the NLC protests. I mustered courage and drove from Kaduna to Abuja.
“I found out that all the dangerous spots where terrorists lay siege are now dominated by the presence of well armed soldiers with armoured vehicles.
“I was able to stop by a few villages and ask the opinions of the locals on the security situation, they confirmed that things are far better now and they feel safer. This was the road where cases of kidnappings and killings occurred on a daily basis in the past.
“Kudos to the Military, the CDS and other Service chiefs,the NSA and other security agencies keeping vigil. However,when the train resumes na train I go still de use,” said the former Kafuna Central senator.
