The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government led by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to declare a state of emergency on the security crisis in the North-West.
No fewer than 57 members of a vigilante group were feared killed by bandits in Sakaba Local Government Area of Kebbi State on Monday night.
A member of the House, Yusuf Sununu, at the plenary on Wednesday, moved a motion of urgent public importance on behalf of members from Kebbi State, on the urgent need for the Federal Government to stop the banditry in the geopolitical zone, especially in Kebbi South Senatorial District. The lawmaker asked how the bandits, who were said to be coming from the neighbouring states in their hundreds, infiltrate Kebbi and carry out robberies, kidnappings and cattle rustling, and are still able to make away with their spoils uninterrupted.
