The House of Representatives on Tuesday, condemned the incessant attacks and killings by bandits in Kajuru area of Kaduna state and resolved to investigate the crisis.
This was sequel to a motion under matters of urgent national importance, moved by Rep. Yakubu Barde (Kaduna-PDP) at plenary.
Moving the motion, Barde stated that recently, the activities of the bandits had taken a strange dimension becaming a major concern to the various communities in kajuru area.
He said between February and March, over hundreds of lives had been lost with property, worth millions of naira destroyed as well as several families displaced and rendered homeless.
The legislator expressed worry that the attacks and killings had become daily activity.
Barde said that in spite of the outcry of the people, no significant effort had been made to bring the situation under control, adding that pockets of killings were still going on in the area.
“It will surprise you to know that up to this moment as I speak, no arrest of these killers has been made by the security agents.
