Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has called on Nigeria’s security agencies to intensify operations against bandits responsible for recent attacks in Tsanyawa and Shanono Local Government Areas of Kano State.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, Senator Barau condemned the latest assault on Yankamaye village in Tsanyawa LGA on Saturday night, where bandits reportedly killed a woman and abducted three residents.
The lawmaker said the attack, which occurred just days after a similar incident in Biresawa village in the same LGA, underscores the urgent need for security forces to “take the fight to the criminal elements” believed to be fleeing military operations in neighbouring states.
“I call on our security agencies, who have engaged the criminals on many occasions in the axis, to double their efforts to rescue these innocent persons and tackle the elements. They should take the fight to them,” he said.
Senator Barau insisted that the incursions must stop immediately, stressing that the protection of lives and property remains paramount. He vowed that no effort would be spared in ensuring stability and safety across the affected communities.
“We will not allow these marauding criminals… to destabilise our communities. This incursion into the area must stop forthwith,” he added.
