Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, representing Niger-East in the Upper Nigeria’s legislature has again pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to nip in the bud killings of innocent and harmless Nigerlites by suspected Boko-Haram terrorists in the state.
His call came on the heels of renewed onslaught by the terrorist groups whose activities have claimed hundreds of lives, including members of the joint security forces and properties worth several millions of naira destroyed.
“I have had reasons to call on the Federal Government to address issues of insecurity in my constituency, Niger East-Senatorial zone but either by commission or omission no serious efforts have been made to bring the situation to normal”.
He regretted that some local government areas have been sacked and the government have not done anything to protect them from the criminals who have continued to operate with impunity.
He added:“The security situation in places like; in Rafi, Shiroro, Munya LGA has continued to get worse with villagers (my constituents) being killed, kidnapped, maimed, raped almost on a daily basis and their property dispossessed.For years now these people cannot earn a living for themselves because insurgents and bandits have taken over their farmlands. Several of the villages have also been deserted because of the activities of these blood thirsty villains”.
He said the situation has become more complicated to the extent that the few areas where semblance of security used to exist in the affected local government areas have been wiped out totally by these bandits.
Despite appeals to the military and the police to remain and secure the villagers from the criminals, he said the Special Task Force have refused to heed the peoples’ plea after it was sacked from Allawa and Bassa hence leaving the communities at the mercy of bandits who raid their villages daily demanding huge ransom from families of their victims.
