Mr El-Rufai's letter, PREMIUM TIMES understands, is to rouse Abuja to come to grips with the enormity of the insecurity in the...

Boko Haram terrorists based in parts of Kaduna and Niger states have a “definite” plot to destroy critical electricity infrastructure supplying the North-west region, Governor Nasir El-Rufai wrote in his late July letter to President Muhammadu Buhari. The governor’s statement is believed to be the first known official confirmation of Boko Haram’s presence in Kaduna.

“Credible intelligence reports indicate that the Boko Haram elements in the area have targeted the lines as part of a plot to plunge the North-West into total darkness,” he said. Niger State had since last year disclosed the presence of Boko Haram terrorists in the state. Another terrorist group Ansaru has been in the Birnin Gwari area of Kaduna since 2012 when it broke away from Boko Haram.on Mr El-Rufai’s letter to the president, we reported how Mr El-Rufai’s described the consolidation of Ansaru’s grip on Kaduna communities with a “parallel” government and planned “permanent operational base.

“This consistent pattern of attacks to forcefully prevent the maintenance and adequate functioning of the transmission lines in the area, has crystallized into a clear intention to make a grand statement by destroying them altogether. This will generate the widespread impact craved by the terrorists, by shutting down the entire North-West with one blow.
