The lawmaker representing Bauchi
Central senatorial district, Sen. Isah Misau, Thursday, alleged that most of
the security operatives in the country have abandoned their constitutional
roles for partisan politics.
Misau also alleged that it was
against this backdrop that insecurity is attempting to overran the country.
The lawmaker made this allegation
during his contribution to an adopted motion entitled, “Gruesome killing of 40
people in Sokoto state by armed bandits” sponsored by Senator Aliyu Wamakko
representing Sokoto North.
The motion followed the gruesome
killing of about 40 innocent and defenseless people of Sokoto by armed bandits
last Monday at Dogon-yero district in Raba local government area of the state.
In his contribution, Misau said,
“It is only in Nigeria that killings take place without reason. This is because
the security men are more interested in politics than doing the security work.
“Right now, we are not doing the
right thing that can curtail this killings. Even the press are tired of
reporting the killings across the country.
“We have some positions that some
people occupy at the expense of life. This menace can come to Abuja if care is
not taken.”
However, the upper chamber
resolved to mandate the air force and police helicopter division to carry
aerial surveillance in Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi states so as to identify the
locations and hideouts of the bandits.
It also urged the
Inspector-General of Police, IGP, through the Commissioners of Police in the
three states to set up a special squad to mop up the whole zone and get rid of
the armed bandits.
