Abuja-Kaduna Train Attack: National Security Adviser, Monguno Tackles Governor El-Rufai

The National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, has criticised the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, saying he speaks about issues he does not know about, going about the insecurity plaguing his state.
Monguno’s criticism against the governor was in reaction to recent comments credited to him, after the train incident, where bandits unleashed an attack on travellers plying the route to Kaduna.

 El-Rufai had said the government agents know the hideout of bandits and that they listened to their conversations regularly.
The NSA said this on Thursday, shortly after the security council meeting with heads of security agencies and ministers, presided by President Muhammadu Buhari, Daily Post reports.
El Rufai had admitted that the Nigerian government had knowledge of the identity of bandits and their camps.
“We know where their camps are. We know their camps, we have the maps; we know everything. We have their phone numbers and listen to their conversation sometimes. But it has to be done across the five states,” Monguno added.
Monguno who briefed alongside the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, and the Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi also noted that the United States government, came to an agreement to sell some military equipment to Nigeria, after the Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari and he travelled to the US, where they made a presentation to members of the Congress.
Recall that since the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna bound train, where eight persons lost their lives and many others were abducted, the federal government has been making efforts to rescue the abductees from the terrorists.
