The Senate on Thursday listed Senator Joshua Dariye , who is currently serving 10-year jail term, as a co-sponsor of a motion on insecurity in Kaduna State and the attendant killings.
Dariye’s name was number 89 on the Order Paper, alongside those of 108 senators who had supported the motion.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had prosecuted Dariye for fraud he committed while he was governor of Plateau State. The lawmakers also urged security agencies to “immediately deploy the use of drones and interceptors in tracking kidnappers asking for ransom,” while advising community and traditional rulers and all stakeholders to cooperate with security agencies.
He said, “The Senate notes with sympathy and total dismay, the wave and spate of armed banditry and kidnappings in most parts of the country, from the North, South, East and Western parts of the country without a formidable and technological approach to fighting the heinous crime. Sani recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, earlier in the year, had ordered senior security chiefs to curb kidnappings in the region when four western tourists – two Americans and two Canadians – were abducted in Kaduna in an ambush in January, that left two of their police escorts dead.
