The House of Representatives has decried the continuous attacks by bandits on communities in Kaduna State, urging the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, and the National Emergency Management Agency as well as other relevant agencies to immediately provide relief materials to the affected victims of the ceaseless and violent attacks in Zango Kataf Local Government Area.
The House also urged the Federal Government to immediately deploy more military personnel and intelligence operatives to assist and complement the operations of the ‘Safe Haven’ task force in Zango Kataf and other LGAs in the southern part of Kaduna State.
The House urged the government to establish a military command, battalion and brigade in Zango Kataf.
The lawmaker representing Zango Kataf/Jaba Federal Constituency in Kaduna State at the House, Amos Magaji, had moved a motion unanimously adopted at the plenary on Wednesday, titled ‘Need to Curtail the Ceaseless Armed Bandit Attacks in Zango Kataf Local Government.’
Magaji said, “The House notes the resumed, ceaseless and wanton destruction of properties and farmlands, cold-hearted killings, countless kidnappings, boundless cattle rustling and ferocious burning of houses of residents and communities in Zango Kataf LGA of Kaduna State by alleged bandits.
“The House also notes that while people of the affected communities were beginning to heave sighs of relief as bandit attacks had gone down considerably, with minor isolated cases carried out, the situation has gone back to its usual dangerous and frightening state of regular and daily incidents.”
