The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, called on the Federal Government to establish a military base in Zamfara State communities grappling with banditry.
This resolution followed the adoption of a motion moved by Hassan Shinkafi, the lawmaker representing Shinkafi/Zurmi Federal Constituency, during plenary on Tuesday.
While presenting the motion, the Peoples Democratic Party legislator decried the escalating security crisis in Shinkafi and Zurmi Local Government Areas, citing increased attacks, killings, maiming, and kidnappings of innocent residents.
He further highlighted that the state government had been holding regular security council meetings and blocking supply routes used by bandits.
