Borno Attacks: Senate Asks FG To Flush Out Boko Haram From Lake Chad
The Senate has asked the Federal Government to urgently deploy more military personnel and operatives of other security agencies to flush out Boko Haram insurgents from the Lake Chad region.
Senator Kyari, who represents Borno North senatorial district, drew the attention of his colleagues to fresh Boko Haram attacks that have led to the death of scores of people in his state. In its resolutions, the Senate urged the Federal Government to direct the National Emergency Management Agency and North East Development Commission to immediately send relief materials to the victims of the attacks.
The lawmakers also resolved to observe a minute of silence in honour of those who lost their lives, adding that the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives should meet with President Muhammadu Buhari to work out new strategies to confront Boko Haram in the North East.
