KADUNA — Nigeria Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has urged security agencies to improve their effort to curb insecurity, saying Nigerians await promising results.
Lawan said this during a condolence visit to the family of Bala Na’ Allah, senator representing Kebbi south on Wednesday in Kaduna.
The senator’s son, Abdulkarim was murdered on Sunday at his residence in Malali GRA in Kaduna metropolis.
Expressing his displeasure for the country’s security situation, the Senate President said resources needed to tackle the problem will be readily provided by the government.
“With the recent acquisition of the TA-29 Super Tucano by our Air Force and other platforms, we believe that the government is doing everything possible to enhance the capacity and capabilities of our armed forces to fight the numerous security challenges that we face especially banditry here in the north-west.
“Our security agents must sit up; we appreciate what they are doing but we expect better outcomes now that more resources have been given to them.
“I appeal to security agencies to come up with better strategies in dealing with and confronting banditry that has now become almost a norm in this state.”
Lawan urged security operatives to investigate the incident and ensure that those responsible are brought to book.
“This is one death too many but when Allah wishes, nobody can stop His will and none of us could have done anything to stop this.
“Our security agents must follow the trail and do everything possible to get the killers of our son,” he said.
