Former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has explained the reason behind the recent influx of terrorists into Nigeria.
In a post shared on his verified X account on Sunday, Sani linked the growing level of terrorism in the country to the security arrangement between Russia and the Sahelian nations.
Nigeria has experienced several incidents of insecurity over the past few months.
The situation has resulted in numerous abductions involving women and schoolchildren, with some victims losing their lives in the process.
Reacting to the development, the former lawmaker said, “Since the security agreement and operation between Russia and the Sahelian states of Burkina, Mali and the Niger Republic commenced, more terrorists from those countries forcefully relocated their bases to Nigeria.
“They should be denied any breathing space in our country by all means necessary.”
