Kaduna state government has announced plans of shutting
down telecommunication services as part of the strategy in
the ongoing fight against bandits in North-West states.

Speaking during a chat with some radio stations, El-Rufai
said the shutdown would not cover the entire state. He
stated that only local government areas bordering the
troubled Zamfara and Katsina states where military
onslaught is ongoing will be affected.

He said;

He said, “We have been advised by the military and other security agencies to shut down telecommunication services in certain LGAs but we are waiting for the security agencies to tell us which specific areas and when.

“But I want the people of Kaduna State to know that if they give us the go-ahead tomorrow, we will shut down tomorrow.

“There is no doubt that bandits and other criminals rely on telecommunication to communicate with their informants as well as with relatives ofkidnapped victims so as to demand ransom.”

The governor said he had already written to the Federal Government on the shutdown which he said had been approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“I will not mention the LGAs to be affected but the local governments that are constantly being tormented by bandits know themselves,” he said.

Kaduna, like most states in the North-West zone, has been affected by banditry and kidnapping, especially in Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Chikun, Igabi, Kajuru, Kachia, and Zaria local government areas.

According to Governor El-Rufai, due to the shutdown of telecommunication services in Zamfara and Katsina states, some bandits crossed over to neighbouring local government areas in Kaduna to make phone calls and demand ransoms.

He also disclosed that Kaduna State Government has established a task force that will go round the hinterlands to monitor compliance with some of the security measures adopted by the state to tackle banditry and kidnappings.

These measures include the closure of some fuel stations and markets to strangulate bandits in the forest.

While advising residents on the need to identify and report informants or accomplices of bandits, El-Rufai urged residents to report anyone who comes to buy between 20 to 100 loaves of bread to security agents.

Shutting down telecommunications service will favour the terrorists/Bandits more in my opinion. El Rufai you get sense so?

Let it be on RECORD that genocide on a massive scale is about to be committed in Kaduna by buhari's fulani terrorist regime in collaboration with Elrufai.
What better way to slaughter large number of people when there's no telecommunication services? They don't want their crimes broadcast real time to the world like #EndSars.
The world should hold this bloody regime responsible for all the genocides currently being committed in Nigeria!

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.

TOTAL DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF MIDDLE BELT AND SOUTHERN LIVES FROM FULANI AND BOKOHARAM TERRORISM!

Kaduna has fallen.....

This nonsense of shutting down telecoms must be stopped ..If bandits are really using public Telecommunication service to plan attacks then it's a plus for govt because it should make it easier for govt to monitor their calls and know their plans and location ahead of time na .. Other security services abroad are very happy if a Terrorist mistakenly uses mobile phone because they can now track him through it but in Buharis Nigeria Buhari is putting of Telco Networks to protect the terrorist

El Rufai is only doing eye service.
He is happy with the fact that Christians are being killed in Southern Kaduna.


He is a Jihadist and this is what Jihadists promote, killing of innocent people just because they have different religion belief.
