Shehu Sani Weeps Over The Scary State Of Things In The Country.
The Senator who represented Kaduna central in the 8th senate, senator Shehu Sani, has expressed grief over the tragic state of security in the country.
The senator, through his Facebook wall, expressed sadness over the appalling dimension of criminality in the country, stating that terrorists have gone the audacious length of usurping constituted authorities, imposing fines and installing religious and traditional leaders.
“The terrorists from our own part of the country are moving beyond launching raids and extorting ransom to a new audacious level of gradually edging out the constituted authority;collecting taxes,imposing fines and installing religious and traditional structures of Leadership,” he wrote.
He bemoaned the inability of the security agencies to rescue kidnapped victims, which has made the families to resort to paying of ransoms.
“In all the mass kidnappings that happened in Niger,Kebbi,Kaduna,Sokoto and Katsina,there has not been any serious rescue record other than outright payments of ransom by the families of the victims,” Sani wrote.
He further bewailed the spate of killings and the multiplicity of unsafe areas in the country which has made the country one of the most unsafe countries in the world.
“People are slaughtered with ease, everyday,and the only places that are safe are those areas the terrorists opted not to attack.The frequency of which people are being killed everyday has reached such a point that both the states and Federal Government appeared tired of issuing press statements to condemn the killings or to condole with the families of the victims,” he added.
“We have reached such a tragic phase that there is no time to mourn,no time for tears,no time for sorrow because mass burials,mourning and tears have become both the routine and the new normal.There is no place on earth today ,not in Yemen or Somalia are human lives been so cheap like in this country” he concluded.
