The House of Representatives has called on the federal government to address the incessant bandits’ attacks in communities of Dutsin-Ma/Kurfi federal constituency of Katsina State, Yamaltu Deba in Gombe State and some parts of Ondo State. This followed the adoption of separate motions by Aminu Babale, Inuwa Garba and Timehin Adelegbe at the plenary on Wednesday.
Presenting his motion, Babale who is representing Dutsin-Ma/Kurfi federal constituency, said Tashar Yaro, Koza, Kudewa, Geza, Sauyawa, Tamawa and Maileda communities within Kurfi and Dutsin-Ma local government areas of Katsina State were attacked by bandits on June 12 which resulted in the deaths of scores of innocent villagers and injuries to others. He said the incessant attacks had led to low farming productivity, warning that majority of the youth in the affected areas could end up with little or no income, thus worsening youth restiveness.
