Former lawmaker Senator Shehu Sani expressed optimism about the eventual rescue of over 200 kidnapped school pupils, suggesting that it would be challenging for terrorists to hide them undetected.
Sani pointed out that Kaduna, like most northern states of Nigeria, lacks thick forests suitable for concealing such a large number of hostages without being detected by advanced technology.
In a post on his social media handle, Sani emphasized that locating the abducted pupils is one challenge, while considering the consequences of using force to rescue them presents another.
He expressed confidence in the capabilities of the defence and security agencies, believing they are evaluating the best and safest strategies for securing the freedom of the pupils.
Sani concluded by highlighting the limited options available to the terrorists and expressed optimism that the abducted pupils would be rescued safely.
