Insecurity: Deploy military to crush bandits, insurgents in Jigawa – Senate tells Buhari

The Senate has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to direct the immediate deployment of a semi-Permanent platoon of soldiers to tackle banditry in Jigawa State.

The call was made by the upper chamber on Tuesday following consideration of motion on “the need for the establishment of a Military Unit in Jigawa State.”

Sponsor of the motion, Senator Hassan Hadejia, APC –Jigawa North East, bemoaned the invasion of communities in Jigawa State by insurgents and bandits fleeing mounting pressure of security agencies across other northern states.

A statement by the spokesman of the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, Ezrel Tabiowo quoted Hadejia as saying: “These migrant alien settlers are masquerading and mixing with herders trooping to the area because of the fertile flood plain and thick forest cover.”

According to Hadejia, the zone which is bordered by Yobe and Bauchi States and the Niger Republic has faced challenges of insurgents sneaking in to take temporary refuge from army operations.

He added that “proactive measures by the security operatives in conjunction with a reporting mechanism using traditional institutions has ensured they are neutralized before they localize and take root.”


The lawmaker expressed worry that “most of the herders and other armed groups that mingle with them appear to be non-nationals and their activities in the last 12 months has assumed a dangerous dimension resulting in attacks and raiding of villages.”

“They have also adopted unwarranted destruction of farm produce to discourage farmers from planting in what appears to be an extension of the strategy in the far northwest to disrupt agricultural production and precipitate calamitous food insecurity in the country to aid in their strategy of creating instability through hunger and local economic devastation.

“The three local Governments affected by the flood plain of the Hadejia River Basin and are the most productive in the zone providing fertile land and abundant water to thousands of families who can achieve 3 harvests annually;

“The perpetrators have no fear or regard for the police and the local inhabitants are also losing confidence in the authorities as no one has yet been apprehended and successfully prosecuted”, the lawmaker said.


Hadejia lamented that “several lives have been lost as the marauders mercilessly hack down innocent villagers in a gruesome manner with the latest incident claiming almost 10 lives last week.”

“There is a need to take preventive measures to avert the Zamfara and Katsina experience”, he added.

The Senate accordingly called on the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to immediately arrange for distribution of relief materials and agricultural support to the affected communities to enable crop cultivation during the rainy season.

Which military?The ones on leave,the ones that have resigned or the ones with low morale

They even have to beg this half dead president to do the needful. It is not even as if the military leadership cares.
If you thumb printed for this government, then anything you get is your reward.

Stop calling them bandits.This guys are bokoharam,AKA Islamic terrorists.The media has been bought to erased their real identity.

Is there still a Commander-in-Chief in Ask Rock?? Does the senate have to suggest it before the needful is done?

shey the person that doesn't have ear ?

Jigawa Don Yawa Becaused Of Children Of Boko Haram Calld By New Name Bandit.

The Senate has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to direct the immediate deployment of a semi-Permanent platoon of soldiers to tackle banditry in Jigawa State.

Isn't it funny that a supposed President and Commander in Chief of Armed Forces of a country will need to be urged, pushed, begged, placated by his subjects before he could take actions that are within the confines of his Presidential authority to protect their lives ?

I weep for Nigeria

Have they crushed d one in Katsina, Zamfara and other northern states??

And Northerners will never for once be ashamed and at least accept responsibility for the damages they are doing to this country through:
Almajiri
Fulani herdsmen
Boko Haram
Bandits
Shiites
Religious killings
Child Marriage
Over population etc
Yet their holier than thou attitude is disgusting.

The insensitive president will rather deploy the military towards the south & allow the incapable police to attend to the BH terrorists masquerading as bandits.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Even our rubber stamp senate dey talk.

Buhari has not deployed military to Kaduna that has been turned to shreds by bandits, Zamfara is not spared from the wrath of these animals, even kastina; buhari's home state is currently being ravaged as i type and these monkeys are telling him to send pythons to jigawa, them think say na SE

Why is everyone so foolish in this country.

Buhari should deploy military to crush bandit as if it is that easy with the water gun you gave them to fight people who are carrying better guns.

Just sitting at your comfort home and be spewing trash and looting what they are suppose to aue to buy guns and other equipment to crush them.

Shame on this our handicap Buhari led administration

Ok

Nbote:
Have they crushed d one in Katsina, Zamfara and other northern states??

Lol. One crush at a time

Bunch of jokers!

The Fulani jihadist presidiot had to be pushed by the Senate to do his job, if it is to kill unarmed ipob protesters then no one needs to remind him of his job.
Rubbish fulani terrorist president.

The military is being unnecessarily overstretched.. this is something that the police or civil defence should counter.. But our police responsibility nowadays is to station their men to collect bribes from civilians

This military has really suffered pain.

About time

crush ki ni, I taught you guys reintegrate them back into the society as repentant Boko Haram..

You mean the military with high tolerance for banditry? Failed service chiefs!

.

Ok. Over to the presidency.

The large scale insecurity in North West Nigeria is sponsored by karma.

The military has become our de facto police, showing the level of insecurity in the country
