The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has called on security agencies to intensify operations against marauding bandits terrorising communities in Tsanyawa and Shanono Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State.
Reacting to a recent attack in Yankamaye village, Tsanyawa LGA, on Saturday night, Senator Jibrin appealed for prompt action to rescue kidnapped victims and curb further incursions.
In a statement issued through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, the Deputy Senate President condemned the violence, noted that the attack, which left a woman dead and three others kidnapped, followed a similar incident in Biresawa village in the same LGA.
“I have received the distressing report of the killing of a woman and the kidnapping of three persons in Yankamaye village by marauding bandits from neighbouring states. This occurred just a few days after a similar attack in Biresawa. I therefore call on our security agencies, who have engaged these criminals on multiple occasions, to double their efforts to rescue the innocent and tackle the elements directly. They should take the fight to them,” Senator Jibrin said.
He further warned that the Senate would not tolerate the destabilisation of communities by criminals fleeing military operations in neighbouring states. “The incursion into our communities must stop forthwith. The security of our people’s lives and properties is paramount. No stone will be left unturned in achieving this,” he added.
