Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Senate has urged the Federal Government to declare all suspected leaders of terrorists in the country wanted.<\/p>\n

This followed the adoption of a motion by Sen. Bala Ibn Na\u2019Allah (APC-Kebbi) and co-sponsored by 12 other senators during plenary on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The motion was entitled; \u201cUrgent need to surmount all kinds of kidnappings, banditry and related security challenges in Wasagu-Danko, Sakaba, and Yauri Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kebbi\u201d.<\/p>\n

Presenting the motion, Na\u2019Allah said that it was no longer news that the bandits were moving in hundreds in the areas terrorizing the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bandits have been reportedly laying siege around Yar-kuka, Morai, Dankade to Wadako and recently in Bena where 20 people were abducted.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that if urgent steps were not taken, the peace-loving communities might be forced to resort to self-defense by acquiring arms and ammunition.<\/p>\n

Contributing Sen. Adamu Aliero (APC-Kebbi) said that the acquisition of 12 Super Tucano jets by the federal government was supposed to help flush out the bandits from their hideous.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, we purchased Tucano Aircraft, which can be used to move out the bandits.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has the ability to trace the movement of these bandits. If they are rustling cows, I wonder how they move them without being detected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge security forces to intensify efforts to stop banditry in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, Sen. Sani Musa (APC-Niger) said that bandits and other criminals were causing havoc in communities in many states.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe security situation is becoming alarming not only in Kebbi but in surrounding states like Niger.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuman beings are lost every day, and we enjoy standing up and doing one-minute silence.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from calling on security agencies to intensify efforts in the fight against insecurity, leaders should fear God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, President of the Senate Ahmad Lawan said, \u201clet us never be discouraged because sometimes we feel why we are doing this when nothing is happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a limit to what we can do, but we must do what we are supposed to do well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can only do oversight to put pressure, but we can\u2019t execute. We can\u2019t command anyone to go anywhere, but what we do here is very significant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should continue to debate it and follow on with some actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have approved significant resources funds recently in both the Supplementary Budget of 2021 and the Appropriation Act of 2022 for armed forces and other security agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come for all security and defense-related committees to have an oversight on the releases of funds to these agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The upper chamber called on President Muhammadu Buhari to direct massive military and other security agencies deployed to the areas to conduct a rigorous operation to bring to end banditry and other crimes in the affected LGAs.<\/p>\n
