“I found out that all the dangerous spots where terrorists lay siege are now dominated by the presence of well armed soldiers with armoured vehicles.
“I was able to stop by a few villages and ask the opinions of the locals on the security situation, they confirmed that things are far better now and they feel safer. This was the road where cases of kidnappings and killings occurred on a daily basis in the past.
“Kudos to the Military, the CDS and other Service chiefs,the NSA and other security agencies keeping vigil. However,when the train resumes na train I go still de use,” said the former Kafuna Central senator.
