Austynzogs I shed tears for this country..

Fake news, shame on you.

This is very sad. What is the governor trying to do to the state for Pete's sake? nassnigeria Is it that this menace cannot be curbed? Unbelievable!

Similarly I left Kano to Abuja on Sunday, had stopped over for lunch in kaduna when I heard there had been a robbery and kidnapping a few minutes ago, I set out around 5:47pm still, saw a helicopter patrol and checkpoints on the way.

Nigeria is finished under Buhari, may God deliver our country from incompetent leader, insecurity is the order of the day from Maiduguri to Zamfara, from Lagos to Adamawa.

Ya Allah ka tsare mu aduk lokuta

EagleEye____ No wonder they say we are miserable people. Basic standard of life for an average Nigerian is seen as a luxury. Key things like security, education, health care, food are daily struggles for an average person.

Welcome to the next level

Abuja has the police hqters. Kaduna has the highest number of army institutions. Kano has police University. All in the north and are accessed from that route, yet peace has eluded that region. Peace can never be enforced. North has a lot of soul searching to do

harryjaysolid It's normal thing na. This one isn't news again

No wonder the train service initially thought of as a kind of respite for lthe poor, has been hijacked by the rich.If the govt and its sec agencies continue to be complacent abt happenings on that major route,why not construct more rail lines from Abujato Kd &provide more trains?

It’s unfortunate that the security agencies especially d PoliceNG & HQNigerianArmy have nt been able to curtail d situation including d incessant attacks on Zamfara state. D govt MBuhari ProfOsinbajo elrufai shld do something fast & nt 4get dt they will give acct b4 God

Subhanallah

Very soon we will see an international headline saying Nigeria overtakes one of these war torn countries as a country with the worlds most unsafe highways to travel on. With buhari at the helms of affairs in Naija we are good at overtaking in everything negative ratings. Smh

hey hey, which kinda life is this..... Its unfortunate

it is said that there is no peace f d wicked may Nigeria never know peace f d killings of innocent n harmless BIAFRANS.

Our security system is total in Shambles ... God need to intervene.

It is well with our country nigeria

manexdachi What we spoke about last night

OluweJ Death trap.

abdullah790 And the presidency keep mute 🤐

ahmed_ansaary Wallahi na bi hanyar a yau daga 2pm zuwa 4pm

Wow! This is too much?

APC will tell Nigerians that the gunmen are cowards, they attacked the highway when the President is out of the country. Northerners, enjoy 'NES LEBEL'

Atisonnet E never start!....Buhari & El Rufai....the misery about to envelope nigeria still dey do press up!

You mean the Government can not provide security for it citizens and yet they are talking of increasing vat, this Government led by Buhari is a joke.

Wow!
