The Senator representing Kebbi South, Garba Musa Maidoki, has made a passionate appeal to the Federal Government, warning that bandit attacks have reached alarming levels in his constituency.
Speaking before the Nigerian Senate, Senator Maidoki lamented the continuous loss of lives, destruction of property, and mass displacement caused by the ongoing violence.
“My people are not asking for roads or schools right now,” he said. “They are asking for safety — for their lives.”
🔫Reports from local communities confirm that bandit groups have intensified attacks across several villages, burning homes and kidnapping residents.
Many families have reportedly fled to neighboring areas in search of safety, while those remaining live in constant fear.
Residents describe sleepless nights, deserted farmlands, and collapsing markets due to persistent insecurity.
Despite government efforts to deploy security personnel, Senator Maidoki insists that the response has been inadequate and unsustained, allowing bandits to regroup and continue their assaults.
Senator Maidoki’s plea has reignited national conversations about the state of security in Northwestern Nigeria, where banditry, kidnapping, and rural terrorism have displaced thousands.
He urged the government to:
Strengthen military presence in affected areas.
Improve intelligence gathering and rapid response systems.
Support victims and displaced persons with humanitarian aid.
“We cannot allow rural Nigerians to be forgotten,” he warned. “If we lose security, we lose everything.”
Kebbi South’s local economies — especially farming and trade — have been hit hard.
Farmers can no longer access their lands, leading to food shortages and inflation in local markets.
Schools in affected areas have closed, and families are struggling to survive amid fear and uncertainty.
Community leaders continue to call for dialogue, vigilance, and stronger collaboration between citizens and security agencies.
🕊️ Kebbi State is not alone in this crisis. Neighboring states like Zamfara, Sokoto, and Niger also face relentless attacks.
Analysts warn that unless the government adopts a comprehensive and sustained strategy, banditry could further destabilize the northwest region.
Senator Garba Maidoki’s heartfelt plea captures the desperation of millions living under threat in northern Nigeria.
As the violence escalates, Nigerians across the country are urging the government to act decisively — because, as the Senator put it, “Without security, there can be no progress.”
