Prof. Kailani Muhammad, D-G, Confederation of APC Support Groups
The Confederation of All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Groups has urged President Bola Tinubu to procure the latest sophisticated vehicular gadgets built by the Russian government to end the spike in kidnappings and other violent crimes across the country.
The group’s Director-General, Prof. Kailani Muhammad, who made this known in Abuja at the weekend, said that the such tech gadgets would identify where kidnapped school children and their kidnappers locate.
It would be recalled that earlier on March 7, gunmen kidnapped 287 students and teachers from LEA Primary School and Government Secondary School, Kuriga, Kaduna State, as well as others in Sokoto State.
The schoolchildren were immediately whisked into the forests by the terrorists.
Muhammad stressed that the latest sophisticated electronic gadgets made in Russia was capable of identifying wherever the pupils and gunmen were located.
“We should use the latest sophisticated electronic gadgets to be able to identify where these pupils and bandits are.
“The recent one now is from Russia, we want him (Tinubu) to adopt it. There are vehicles now Russia built.
“They will send these vehicles into the forests and bushes, the vehicles will release smokes and the smokes can travel from Abuja to Kano.
“Once you are in the forests and you inhale it, you will sleep for three days. It will not kill you, it will not harm you.
“If we can bring such vehicles to Nigeria, they will help in getting these pupils released and bring them back homes.
“It will also go a long way in addressing banditry, kidnapping and other vices in the country.”
