Lawmaker representing the Bosso/Paikoro federal constituency of Niger State in the National Assembly, Hon Yusuf Kure Baraje, has urged the federal government
In an interview with LEADERSHIP in Abuja, the lawmaker also said the distribution of palliatives had been influenced by the insecurity in the area.
He said, “For instance my village has been attacked more than 10 times, bandits have even come to my parlour to attack me. But as l am speaking to you, I’ve never seen any military deployment of troops to engage the bandits in their hideouts. Nobody has ever been there, if there is, l stands to be corrected. The only time the military came was on surveillance from their base in Kantiri on their way to Kaduna but no troops based in Niger State have been here to deal with the bandits.
