Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the arrest of Ansaru terrorist leader, Abu Baraa.
Baraa is the leader of Ansaru terrorist group with links to Al-Qaeda.
Sani said Baraa’s arrest was a significant step in the fight against terrorists.
The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu said Baraa has been on the radar of security agencies since May and was nabbed in July.
Ribadu said Baraa was arrested after a successful high-risk, intelligence-led, counter-terrorism operation.
Reacting, Sani posted on X: “The recent arrest of high profile terrorist leaders in Northern Nigeria as revealed by the NSA Ribadu is a significant step in the fight against terrorism.
“They kidnap, they kill, they are deranged, they are delusional in their dreams of a theocracy through bloodshed, and above all they live by the sword.”
