Zamfara Assembly
Zamfara House of Assembly has written a letter to Minister of defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, over incessant killings and security challenges in the state.
The assembly made this known during plenary session in Gusau on Friday.
The decision followed a complaint by Abdullahi Dansadau (APC, Maru South) under matters of urgent public importance.
Dansadau said the killing of innocent citizens in the state by bandits was worrisome.
The matter was seconded by Mani Masamar-Mudi (APC, Bukkuyum 1) and Aliyu Kagara (APC, Talata-Mafara, South), where they urged the house to agree to write a letter to the minister.
The Deputy Speaker of the House, Abubakar Gummi, who chaired the sitting, said members unanimously resolved and agreed to write a letter to the minister to complain about dwindling security situation in the state.
They agreed to request for additional efforts from security agencies, especially in the deployment of more security personnel to the state.
Consequently, the house unanimously resolved to go on recess until July 2, 2018.
