He mentioned that there were rumors that bandits and kidnappers had infiltrated the Federal Capital Territory. He pointed out that the evidence appears to indicate that these criminal elements have set up cells in Bwari and Kubwa, using these locations as hubs for their operations.

He said in a press report by Channels TV, ”The reason for the invitation is obvious to all. We have emotions here in the Senate bordering on the recent upsurge of Insecurity in parts of the country. Banditry, Kidnappings, and in some places, Killings. And even after Kidnappers have received ransom, some still go ahead and kill the victims. And we also received reports that some security personnel have lost their lives in the course of fighting to bring the situation under control.

We had motions from our colleagues on what was going on in Taraba, Benue, and Oyo state. We also have disturbing motions in Plateau state, places like Mangu, Bokkos, and Barkin Ladi communities. And very close to us, we also heard about the infiltration of the Federal Capital territory by some of the Kidnappers and Bandits. We heard some reports that the Bandits and Kidnappers have cells in Bwari and Kubwa. And they are congregating in those areas.” CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
