The lawmakers also urged the federal government to initiate a coordinated Joint Security Operation by providing aerial surveillance and other combat mission plans to flush out bandits.
The House of Representatives has called on the federal government to end the spate of banditry and the incessant clashes between farmers and herders in Katsina and Gombe states.
He added that these banditry activities had led to the regular imposition of taxes on farmers before allowing them to access their farmlands. He said most youth in the affected areas could end up with little or no income, thus worsening youth restiveness. He said the previous efforts of the state government were yet to yield significant results as the annual clashes had continued to reoccur.
