House of Reps invites Buhari over killings
This followed a motion on the urgent “Need for Federal Government’s Intervention on the Ongoing Wanton Killing of Innocent Persons, Destruction of Property, Armed Robbery and Kidnappings by Heavily Armed Bandits Operating Within Safana/Batsari/Dansamu Federal Constituency”.Dayyabu-Safana said that some villages within his constituency had been serially attacked, with many people killed by armed bandits.
“The villages are Massa in Batasari Local Government Area, where no fewer than five persons have been killed, Alhazawa in Safana LGA has been totally displaced. Guzurawa village in Safana LGA also has several persons murdered in cold blood. “The bereaved villagers there are forced to abandon the corpses during the burial and scamper for safety, when they sighted the bandits coming back to launch another offensive,” he said.
The lawmaker said in spite of persistent cries from the affected communities, the security operatives appeared not be proactive, especially on security tips off and most times failed to respond promptly. Rep. Bashir Babale , who said that “Infrastructure has collapsed where banditry takes place”, compared the former administration with the present one.Rep. Gabriel Onyenweife said that “Nigeria is not a safe country. The executive should take the lead and lead Nigeria from a failed security state”.
