The senator representing Niger East, Mohammed Sani Musa, has described the abduction of about 200 children by armed bandits from Islammiya school in Tegina, Rafi local government area, Sunday, as callous and unfortunate.
Senator Musa, who condemned the attack that reportedly led to the death of an Internally Displaced Person (IDP), commiserated with victims of the attack and assured that the enemies of peace in the area would soon be brought to book.
The senator in a statement Monday said: “I received credible information of the gruesome daylight attack on the good people of Tegina by the dreaded bandits. With utmost concern, I strongly condemn these attacks and reaffirm the solidarity of my office with the people and the Rafi local government area over these gruesome attacks.”
Continuing, the statement read: “My heart goes out to the victims and all those affected by this horrific attack in our senatorial district. I stand with the people of Tegina at this tragic and difficult time.”
Sen. Sani Musa also reiterated the call for the federal government to strengthen security in Niger state, particularly in areas where bandits have been terrorising.
