Adedayo Akinwale in AbujaThe House of Representatives has called President Bola Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency, direct the Chief of Defence Staff(CDS) to initiate a coordinated joint security operation and provide area surveillance and ground support to flush out the armed bandits and destroy their camps in Gombe State. The resolution of the House followed the adoption of a motion moved at the plenary one yesterday by the Chief Whip, Hon. Usman Kumo. Moving the motion, he recalled that recent attacks by armed bandits on Garin Galadima, Pindiga, Garin Jaji, and Laro and other communities in Akko Local Government Area of Gombe State resulted in the killing of six people, abduction of 20 persons currently being held hostage by the kidnappers, and destruction of property.
