Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central at the
8th National Assembly, has lamented the incessant attacks on the northwestern
part of the country by bandits and other terrorist groups.
Parts of the region, mostly Kaduna and Niger states, have
continued to boil following attacks on communities by the assailants.
Recall that the Kaduna State Government yesterday said
bandits killed a total number of 1,192 and abducted 3,348 people in the state
in 2021.
Mr Samuel Aruwan, the state Commissioner, Ministry of
Internal Security and Home Affairs, while presenting the security situation
report from January to December 2021 to Governor Nasir El-Rufai, explained that
Kaduna Central Senatorial District recorded about 720 deaths from banditry,
communal clashes, violent attacks and reprisal attacks.
According to the commissioner, the Southern Kaduna
Senatorial District recorded 406 deaths following the activities of the armed
bandits in the area.
Similarly, in Niger State, dozens of people were killed with
many houses burnt in attacks at Galadima-Kogo and Galkogo communities of
Shiroro Local Council a few days ago.
The armed men were said to have launched the attacks after
overpowering security operatives in the area.
Lamenting the continuous attacks, the former lawmaker said
the only time the region gets relief from the attacks is when President
Muhammadu Buhari visits.
Senator Shehu Sani stated this in a tweet on his official
Twitter handle on Wednesday.
He said, “Bandits continue to kill in Kaduna, Niger and
other states in the North West; the only time respite comes is whenever the
president visits”.
