Direct CDS To Flush Out Terrorists In Kaduna, Ebonyi : House to Buhari

The House of Representatives has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Lucky Irabor, to launch a coordinated joint security operation and provide area surveillance and support to flush out terrorists and destroy their camps in Kaduna and Ebonyi States.

On Sunday, there were new attacks on communities in Kaduna State, where special forces rescued seven abducted Chinese nationals from the militants’ cell, despite the fact that the terrorists killed 37 people.
The bandits attacked the Malagum and Sokwong communities of Kagoro Chiefdom in the state’s Kaura Local Government Area, burning down more than 100 houses.

However, moving a motion of urgent national importance at the plenary, yesterday, Hon. Gideon Ghoni decried the terror attacks and urged humanitarian ministry to provide relief materials to the victims.

He also noted that the terror attacks had been going on without proactive measures initiated to avert the trend.
While noting that the House passed several resolutions on similar motions and communicated them to all security agencies but unfortunately no positive actions yielded from it, he warned that if no stringent measures were taken to safeguard the life of people, it might constitute threat to national security.

In similar vein, the lawmakers, while adopting a motion sponsored by Hon. Makwe Livinus, condemned the gruesome killings of Mr Ejike Egwu, Chukwuemeka Benjamin Ajah and numerous others, whose lives were cut short by bandits and armed men terrorising Amaeze community of Ishiagu, Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
