Nigerian Senate

The Senate has urged the Federal Government to declare all suspected leaders of terrorists in the country wanted.

This followed the adoption of a motion by Sen. Bala Ibn Na’Allah (APC-Kebbi) and co-sponsored by 12 other senators during the plenary on Wednesday, February 23, 2022.

The motion was entitled; “Urgent need to surmount all kinds of kidnappings, banditry and related security challenges in Wasaga-Danko, Sakaba, and Yauri Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kebbi”.

Presenting the motion, Na’Allah said that it was no longer news that the bandits were moving in hundreds in the areas terrorizing the people.

“The bandits have been reportedly laying siege around Yar-Kuka, Morai, Dankade to Wadako and recently in Bena where 20 people were abducted.”

He said that if urgent steps were not taken, the peace-loving communities might be forced to resort to self-defense by acquiring arms and ammunition.

Contributing Sen. Adamu Aliero (APC-Kebbi) said that the acquisition of 12 Super Tucano jets by the federal government was supposed to help flush out the bandits from their hideous.

“Recently, we purchased Tucano Aircraft, which can be used to move out the bandits.

“It can trace the movement of these bandits. If they are rustling cows, I wonder how they move them without being detected.

"I urge security forces to intensify efforts to stop banditry in the state.”

Also, Sen. Sani Musa (APC-Niger) said that bandits and other criminals were causing havoc in communities in many states.

“The security situation is becoming alarming not only in Kebbi but in surrounding states like Niger.

“Human beings are lost every day, and we enjoy standing up and doing one-minute silence.

“Apart from calling on security agencies to intensify efforts in the fight against insecurity, leaders should fear God,” he said.

In his remarks, President of the Senate Ahmad Lawan said, “let us never be discouraged because sometimes we feel why we are doing this when nothing is happening.
