With the surge in terrorist attacks across Nigeria, especially in Abuja, the country’s capital; Buba Galadima, a former ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, has said the president of the country may be kidnapped soon.
Buba Galadima stated this in an interview with BBC Hausa service while reacting to the security crisis in the Federal Capital Territory.
After the recent attack on Kuje prison by suspected members of the Boko Haram group, it is believed that there have been several other terrorist attacks in Abuja.
More than seven soldiers were said to have been killed, while many were injured on Monday during an attack in Bwari Area Council.
According to Galadima, the only option that remains for Nigerians is to be armed for self defence.
He said, “If care is not taken, sooner or later, Buhari too can be kidnapped considering the way security issues are ignored.
“The only option available now is to either continue praying or arm ourselves for protection, but if we depend on this government, definitely we will be killed.”
