Bandits attack: My people will defend themselves if Nigerian govt will not protect them – Senator Sani Musa
He lamented that the recent attacks in the area between Saturday and Monday in Kundu and Yakila in Rafi, Erena in Shiroro as well as Kagara local governments have left four Policemen and five civilians dead.
Reacting to the attacks, the lawmaker in a press statement signed by his Legislative Aide, Sagir Tafida and made available to DAILY POST expressed dismay over the seeming inability of the government to find a lasting solution to the challenges confronting the area.Musa said, ” my heart is pained seeing the bloodletting in my constituency. Women are raped and killed. Men are maimed and children rendered fatherless.
“The youths in my constituency have decided henceforth to defend themselves in view of the failure of the federal government to address the lingering challenge”“We have tried to calm them down all this while, assuring them of federal government’s intervention. Now they have lost hope that the federal government will do any justice to their plights”
He noted that the military base would be better than the current makeshift arrangement where troops are only deployed when there is an attack and withdrawn as soon as there is relative calmness only for the bandits to attack almost immediately.
