Lawmakers in the Senate are
calling for the sack of the Service Chiefs in the country over the spate of
killings in the country.
The lawmakers made their
views known during a debate on the persistent killings across the country by
alleged herdsmen following a point raised by Senator Suleiman Adokwe at plenary
informing the Senate of the killing of over 32 people in his constituency
allegedly by herdsmen.
The lawmakers expressed
concern over the recent killings in the country saying measures have to be put
in place to protect the common man and those in possessions of illegal weapons
have to be withdrawn.
They also commiserated with
the families of those that lost their lives in the recent herdsmen attack.
Another Senator, Senator
Solomon Olamilekun, in fact, called for the sack of all the Service Chiefs
noting that they have failed in their responsibility to protect the lives and
properties of Nigerians.
THEWILL recalls that there
have been series of killings in the country, especially from the northeast and
central.
The latest killings were in
Taraba and Benue where several persons were feared killed following fresh
violence that broke in the two states.
Also in Zamfara State about
22 people were killed in Kuru-Kuru and Yar’ Kuka villages of Anka Local
Government Area of the state.
