We must treat economic saboteurs with an iron hand – Senator Buhari
We must treat economic saboteurs with an iron hand – Senator Buhari
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Marine and Land Transportation, Senator Abdulfatai Buhari (APC, Oyo North), has lamented the recurring attacks on rail tracks and trains in Kaduna and urged the Federal Government to treat the attackers as economic saboteurs.
Senator Buhari, whose Senate committee oversights the railway, regretted that he was mocked recently when he moved a motion that criminals removing rail tracks should be shot.
Worried that rail, which is regarded as the safest means of transportation is now becoming deadly, Senator Buhari, who is aspiring to govern Oyo State in 2023 on the platform of the APC, said: “The situation we find ourselves is very unfortunate. The incident of three days ago was hellish. If someone had predicted that people could think of removing rail tracks, I would not have believed it.
“Last September, I moved a motion that anybody caught removing rail tracks or attacking trains is an economic saboteur, and should be shot. People criticised me that this is a democracy, I should not talk like that.
“With this incident, the government should get a satellite, locate where these people are, arrest them and deal with them
