The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has boasted about successfully eliminating several high-profile terrorists in Northern Nigeria.
Ribadu gave their identities as Kachalla Boka, Dogo Isah and Kachalla Shekau.
According to him, the trio were in control of the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, but have now been killed.
The NSA noted that the development has made the country’s highways safer, thereby encouraging ministers to travel by road instead of flying.
Ribadu revealed this at an interactive session organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna State.
He said: “You drive from Abuja to Kaduna now because we killed those bastards: Kachalla Boka, Dogo Isah, and Kachalla Shekau were in control of those areas.
“Even last night, we drove from Abuja; it’s a statement we want to make.
“All the ministers, we stopped everyone from flying.”
