Honestly, if this man is president he would be savage in dealing with bandits... That i give it to Rufai..

Terrorist village or herdsmen settlements?

Noted

Will this temporal solution end it all?

Would that solve kidnapping? No!

State police would have been more better

Demolish them.

As your intel is very poor, you cannot investigate and fish out the informants, you want to demolish people's houses. If you like demolish the highway the bandits will just find a new location and cruise continues. Kaduna midget

If the 3 are confirmed terrorists villages, then I would think that makes the work of the security forces a lot easier to coordinate for best results.

Merely demolishing the villages translates to just relocating the terrorists to another area that may prove a lot harder to locate next time.

This is just a political statement. El Rufai does not have such powers.

Saifullah01:
Seriously Nigeria needs someone with steel determination like Elrufai. Politics aside he is not afraid to take decisions.

Did you expect anything less from someone who crippled god fatherism In the state.

Why the hell is he announcing this first? A raid of the village should provide useful intelligence.

Now the villages have been alerted

This man is just posturing for the cameras.

Shame

Burn empty villages,is that one solution

Just arrest and torture sheikh gumi. He will reveal their hideout. Then you won't have to demolish people's houses. Summarized imp

I will give this stupid man thumbs up for the first time if he enforce his intentions, Nigerian is a lawless sturborn set of people bring a policy make it work for every level of anybody Nigeria will be a better place

Zico5:
The way Buhari is dead and dumb to terrorists and kidnapping issues in this country is deafening. He has never come out to condemn the activities except through Garba or Femi. I wonder how he sleep with his two eyes closed knowing fully well things are not alright. Nigeria deserve better.

Lol.. if u really think Buhari gives a fůck about u or any other Nigerian then ur still daydreaming. As for sleeping. Walai that man sleeps like a new born... very peaceful

Good move. Like someone said. The next village won't accommodate or tolerate terrorist activities in their domain

Mossadd:
Like him or hate him if elrufai is taken seriously by federal government Insecurity would have reduced drastically elrufai no just give shit about terrorist

oga fasten your vocal cavity. Is kaduna not one of the hotbeds for terrorism and banditry today? He that wants to move mountains tomorrow should start by removing little stones today. Shikenan

Hmmm

Surely, they will just move to 3 other villages near the road. Why not hold everyone in the 3 villages and do intensive DSS screening to wash out the collabos.

360 deaths in 90 days are war statistics

Hope it's not southern Kaduna

I really don't like to comment on places I haven't visited in Nigeria or don't know much about,but I believe this is the kind of madness Baba OBJ was talking about when he hosted one of the presidential candidate of PDP yesterday.
Only a thoroughly mad man or woman can rule.this country.
Fashola was mad when he ruled in Lagos,an average Nigerian is very lawless, disrespectful and almost likely a saboteur.
People steal rail tracks,steal crude oil from pipelines,steal cables from transformers serving an entire community or what about the government,that's story for another day.
I salute EL-rufai for his consistent madness in trying to rule any part of Nigeria he's called to serve.
We need unsympathetic leaders in Nigeria,if we are to move forward.
EL-rufai will demolish a market to make way for a road,he will crush houses standing on the right of way,he even asked the federal government to bomb out those bastard territorist,now he wants to cleanse 3 communities to get rid of banditry. This is the kind of madness u need to move Nigeria forward.
I end with a story about one of Gov Fashola madness while in lagos,The road from cappa to bolade in oshodi which is supposedly a 3 minutes journey in a very slow car used to take more than 3 hours some yrs back,then Fashola came and started his madness,he crushed all the petty traders who has turned the expressway into a morning, Afternoon and night market.
People were crying about what would happen to those who had lost their stalls but the man was unsympathetic,the road is not a market, people cried and complained but eventually the state moved on,now that road has been restored to its original state.
Now that's the kind of madness u need to money this country forward.
Kudos to Gov EL-rufai and I hope he follows through on this move to rid the express way of bandits

. Awesome

So they knew the villages of these criminals all this while, & you continue to allow them to unleash mayhem on innocent people. And come to think that it's a civilian governor that is coming to do that & not our gallant soldiers. Well, better be late than never. El-Rufai is being reasonable, at least, for once.

Good!

I totally supposed Elrufai on this One.

I hope he does it immediately.

These locations are in Southern Kaduna, All the settlements including Jere ( which was not mentioned ) are all settlers from different parts of the North, more like transit communities that have come to be permanent over the years.

The real indigenes of those communities don't reside by the Highway

ican2020:
Why would villagers harbor kidnappers in their villages

I support him on this

Though this move is commendable..


But to attempt to give an insight to your question, many of these rural dwellers are extremely poor and neglected. They see our national moneybags ply through their communities in very prestigious vehicles (atimes in convoy), some of these wealthy people even stop over to patronize their roadside wares...

Then, the outlaws came. They started opening their eyes to things... Told them the story of how many billions pass through their roads without mercy to drop a few stipends for them... Told them how much it costs to own some of the vehicles they rode past, and began to appeal to their sense of want for material wealth.
Having eroded every sense of complacency in this rural dwellers, they pose a challenge to them - a sense of entitlement; don't you want your money? It's your money!

And puff! It's all it takes to initiate and recruit for criminality!
Those among the villagers who may have been inactive in providing auxiliary services to the terrorists enjoy the kickbacks of their engaged sons and daughters and so...as the old saying goes; it's bad table manners to talk with food in the mouth.

In all of these, both the political class and the terrorists work in tandem for the situation. The former allowed the latter to fest because he failed to do what he was vested to do.

lol, it's like you like pain

Build army barracks there, but of cos u won't spoil business for ur kits n kins

The same Man that made all sort of allegations against Ed-President Jonathan?
Relocating the villages or clearing them off is nothing near the solution.
The North is her own greatest problem! People like you have been at the forefront of sordid politics laced with religious and ethnic sentiments.
Fix it!

You are a liar

Now the fight is real. El-rufai will use military against the indigenous people
