Reps Urge Security Agencies To Finish Off Insurgents

The House of Representatives has appealed to the Nigerian Army and other security agents fighting insurgency in the north to redouble their effort.

Chairman of the Committee on Air Force, Mr Shehu Mohammed, made the appeal while condemning the recent attack on men of the 271 Nigerian Air Force Detachment, Birnin Gwari, by bandits at Ungwan Yako along Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road.

Mohammed who commended NAF personnel for their gallant display described the attack  as barbaric,

He said, “Members of the committee want to use this medium to condemn the attack on the Air Force personnel and commiserate with the force and the family of the fallen hero who died at the battlefield. This is sad news for us and to Nigeria as a whole, as we look forward to the quick recovery for the personnel who sustained various degrees of injury.”

The NAF had, through its spokesman Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, on Friday announced that “the troops were able to disperse the over 70 bandits who had laid an ambush, killing several (Bandits) in the process.

“Unfortunately, one NAF personnel paid the supreme price in the process while some sustained varying degrees of injury.”
