We won’t use force to rescue abducted train victims – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the federal government will not use force in securing the release of the remaining abductees of the ill-fated Abuja-Kaduna train.
Buhari who revealed this during a meeting with the representatives of the families of the victims at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday August 11, said they’ve weighed all options and concluded that the best way to bring all the victims back home safely was not to use force.
He also stated that the federal government is doing everything within its powers to ensure the safe return of the remaining captives.
The President said;
āI have been informed that at last count, there remain about 31 people in the hands of the kidnappers, and our determination is to work towards returning these 31 people to their families.
āIt is understandable that emotions typically run high, we have received several suggestions about the deployment of lethal military force in extracting those still being held in captivity.
āThis option has indeed been considered and evaluated. However, the condition to guarantee a successful outcome and minimize potential collateral damage could not be assured and therefore that course of action had to be reluctantly discarded.
āMy primary concern is to get everyone released safe and unhurt.āEach one of them will be hunted and pursued and spoken to in the language that they understand.
āJudging by the available reports to me and news that have begun emerging in the last few days, I will say they (security operatives) have heard this instruction and are responding appropriately.
āIn the past couple of days, you must have heard about the number of terrorists neutralized by the military, and number of hostages freed. These efforts will not stop, or reduce.ā
Buhari also said that several actions had been taken by government to bring succour to the affected families and to prevent a recurrence in the country.

Elon Musk alleges Twitter is hiding key witnesses in lawsuit over him backing out of $44 billion-dollar buyout
Elon Musk is reportedly accusing Twitter Inc. of hiding key witnesses in their legal battle over whether he must consummate a $44 billion buyout of the company.
According to Bloomberg, Musk is allerging that the social media company isnāt producing the names of employees specifically responsible for evaluating how much of Twitterās customer base is made up of spam and robot accounts.
This was disclosed by people who asked not to be identified because they werenāt authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Muskās lawyers have asked the judge in the case to force Twitter to identify the workers so the defense can get their records and question them, the people said.
A letter asking Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick to compel Twitter to hand over the names was filed Tuesday under seal. Under the courtās rules, Twitterās attorneys have five business days to decide what should be redacted from the filing as proprietary information.
A Twitter spokesman declined to comment on the filing.The letter comes as the Tesla Inc co-founder said Tuesday he is selling $6.9 billion of Tesla shares to avoid a sudden sale in the event he is forced to go ahead with the deal to acquire Twitter. That has prompted some analysts to predict the billionaire may settle the case.
The report said Twitter has handed over the names of ārecords custodians,ā who arenāt as familiar with the data at issue, the people said. Musk wants McCormick to force Twitter to come up with the names of the employees charged with monitoring those accounts, they said.
Both sides have issued a torrent of subpoenas to banks, investors and lawyers involved in the teetering transaction as they seek ammunition for an October 17 trial.
āItās another salvo in the discovery wars that are common in this kind of litigation,ā said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond law professor who specializes in securities and merger and acquisition law. āBoth sides are jockeying for position by targeting different information.ā
Both Twitterās lawyers say theyāll need only four days in court to prove Musk is using questions about spam and bot accounts as a pretext to walk away from the deal. The company said it has turned over all its information about those accounts and that it intends to make Musk pay the $54.20 per share he originally agreed to.
Musk counters in court filings that Twitterās handover of the that material hasnāt been robust and that the company has failed to produce evidence that spam bots account for fewer than 5% of its active users, as it has said in regulatory filings. He argues this gives him a legitimate basis for canceling the buyout.
He alleges Twitterās disclosures show that the actual number of monetizable daily active users, or mDAU as the industry calls it, is 65 million less than the 238 million Twitter has claimed.
He says Twitter also misrepresents how many of those users view advertising, the companyās main source of revenue. By his estimate, fewer than 16 million users see the majority of ads and should be counted as monetizable.

Nigeria is facing existential threat – World Bank warns
The World Bank has raised an alarm that Nigeria might be facing an existential threat due to its dwindling economy.
The international financial institution opines that the dwindling revenue, the continued payment of trillions of naira on fuel subsidy by the government, and the attendant economic challenges put Nigeria in an unfavorable position economically.
The Senior Public Sector Specialist, Domestic Resource Mobilisation, at the World Bank, Mr Rajul Awasthi, raised the alarm at a virtual pre-summit, with the theme āCritical Tax Reforms for Shared Prosperityā, organized by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group on Wednesday, August 10. He insisted Nigeria would have to eliminate the subsidy regime eventually.
In a slide he shared during his presentation, which showed Nigeriaās Development Update, Awasthi explained that between 2015 and 2019, Nigeriaās non-oil revenues were among the lowest in the world and as a result the second lowest in spending, and that oil revenues were also falling even when oil prices were higher.
āNigeria has the largest economy in Africa and the largest country in Africa by population, so it is critical to Africaās progress. There is no doubt about that. But the government of Nigeria, from the public finance perspective, is really facing an existential threat.
Letās not downplay the situation. That is the actual reality. he said Nigeria is 115th out of 115 countries in terms of the average revenue to Gross Domestic Product ratio.
Despite the oil prices rising the way they have been, net oil and gas revenues have been coming down because of the tremendous impact of the subsidy.So, what is going to happen in 2022? The federationās revenues are going to be significantly lower.
They are already very low, and Nigeria is already the lowest in the world out of 115 large countries and this year, itās really going to be lower than what it was in 2020 because of the debilitating impact of fuel subsidy.ā
Speaking on how to get out of the impending threat, Awasthi stated that in the non-oil sector, Value Added Tax compliance gaps were immense and they needed to be breached as well as rationalise tax expenditures.
