His words: “Three persons injured in the Maro village attack are presently in St. Gerard Hospital, Kakuri, Kaduna. Two of them have undergone surgery.”
Senator Sani who was worried that the attacks on communities is becoming more frequent, said, urgent steps must be taken to take the fight to the bandits.
“Our security agencies must reassess their strategies and come up with measures to checkmate these murderous elements.” he said
Senator Uba Sani noted that, there is a humanitarian crisis that needs to be addressed immediately in the communities.
“Hundreds of locals have been displaced from the two villages. The bandits burnt their houses and foodstuffs.
These displaced persons need foodstuffs, clothes, blankets, water, toiletries and other items that would help lessen the pain of their displacement.” He lamented.
