FORMER SENATE PRESIDENT, BUKOLA SARAKI CONDEMNS THE ABDUCTION AND KILLING OF WORSHIPPERS IN ZAMFARA
Former Senate President of Nigeria, Dr Bukola Saraki, on Monday, November 23, condemned the abduction and killing of worshippers in Zamfara State.
Recall, Eons Intelligence had earlier reported that bandits, over the weekend, kidnapped an Imam and 17 worshippers. The Police Command in Zamfara also said the bandits killed some worshippers.
The former Kwara State Governor, who said Nigeria needs an all-encompassing approach to resolve the issue of kidnapping and banditry in the country, urged the Federal Government to call on International agencies to help solve its insecurity challenges.
In a statement on his official Twitter handle on Monday, November 23, the former Senate President said that the Nigerian Government should engage its best mind in resolving the menace.
“This attack on worshippers during Juma’at prayers, which led to the kidnapping of 40 people, including an Imam in Zamfara State, should be a major cause for concern for all Nigerians.
“These rampant cases of insecurity highlight a growing trend that must be addressed head-on.

“We must deploy all available resources; tap into the knowledge and experiences of our best minds both within and out of government; and call on our friends and allies across the world to help solve our insecurity challenges.
“We need a deliberate and all-encompassing approach to ensure that such incidents are curbed or at the very least, brought to the barest minimum — because this cannot become our ‘new normal.’ It is unacceptable, and we must solve it together,” he said.
