This was a resolution arrived at Thursday’s plenary which was presided by the Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau. The motion on 'Urgent Need to Review Security Approach in Addressing Banditry Attacks in Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kaduna and Kebbi states in the North-West of Nigeria', was sponsored by Senator Sani Zangon Daura representing Katsina North, alongside 10 others.
The upper chamber urged Tinubu to seize the opportunity of the North-West governors’ willingness to support workable and acceptable initiatives that “promote peace, security and development in the region” to deal with crime and criminality in the troubled region. In his contribution, Senator Abba Moro, representing Benue South, urged the government at the centre to double effort in tackling bandits, stressing that the situation was degenerating day by day.
