Insecurity: Senate passes resolution demanding Buhari to declare bandits as terrorists
Frustration beclouded the plenary of the Nigerian Senate on Wednesday over the intractable insecurity in the country. The senate, therefore, passed a resolution demanding President Muhammadu Buhari to declare bandits as terrorists.
The senators had further told the President to declare all the known leaders of the bandits wanted, order their tracking, arrest, and prosecution.
Senator Ibrahim Abdullahi Gobir, representing Sokoto East, and eight others had moved a motion that resulted in the resolutions.
Senator Gobir had cried out that his senatorial district has become a safe haven for bandits fleeing from the current onslaught against them in Zamfara State.
Senator Gobir decried the killing of 21 security personnel on Saturday in Dama and Gangara, during attacks where several civilians were killed and others kidnapped.
The senator argued that the latest attacks show the degree of the insecurity in the country that needs the declaration of total war on banditry.
Senator Gobir said that “The operation should be holistic instead of restrictive in order to produce effective and the desired results.”
