A member of the House of Representatives from Zamfara State, Aminu Jaji, has decried the worsening security situation in his state, alleging that armed insurgents have degenerated to the point of feeding newborns in captivity to their dogs.

Jaji, who represents Kaura-Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency and is a member of the All Progressives Congress, made the shocking revelation on Wednesday while addressing journalists at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja.

Narrating the ordeal of residents in his constituency, the visibly distressed lawmaker said: “A pregnant woman was abducted. She gave birth to a set of twins in captivity. Then the leader of the bandits took the twins and threw them at his dogs. The dogs ate them up, one after the other.

“This is something that we need to rise to the occasion. We need to speak to ourselves. Something needs to be done.”

Jaji, however, dismissed calls for the deployment of mercenaries to assist the military in combating insecurity, insisting that Nigeria’s armed forces are capable of securing the country if properly equipped and motivated.

He also opposed the idea of declaring a state of emergency in Zamfara, arguing instead for a strategic shift in military operations, particularly through the use of technology.

“I don’t believe that in Nigeria we need mercenaries to prosecute the war against terrorists.

Our gallant soldiers have the capacity to secure the country. But the only thing that we need to do as a country is to step up a little bit and be more digitalised in the way we operate.”

“Honestly, I don’t subscribe to the idea of hiring mercenaries. We must make sure the resources given to our security agents by the Federal Government are satisfactory. But let’s ensure the monitoring and the efficacy of how they discharge their duty, and then, how they can continue to be ed in of their welfare. If they are being motivated in of their welfare and so many other things, they can step up to fight these people.”

Speaking in an emotionally charged tone, Jaji struggled to convey the horrors being inflicted daily on the people of his constituency.

“In my constituency alone, over 200 people have been kidnapped by bandits. Two weeks ago, 60 people were abducted in Banga. Ten of them were later killed because the community could not raise the N30m ransom demanded by the abductors. As we were grieving, another 25 were taken from Gabake. Just yesterday, fresh attacks occurred in Kungurki,” he said.

He further lamented that bandits had effectively seized control of large portions of his constituency, operating with impunity and acting as de facto authorities over the local population.

Jaji called for an urgent overhaul of the nation’s security architecture and expressed concern that President Bola Tinubu may not be receiving accurate reports about the situation in the North-West.

It will never be well with the drug Master and his terrorist deputy, he must be booted out in 2027.

#Back to Bourdillon

Northern Senators and politicians are a joke....they should continue ing govt's BH amnesty program

Why are the army in the barracks when people are killed at random by savages?

Have they declare state of emergency in that state?

What is the LG chairman and the governor's doing about it?

Has anyone tender an apology or resign?

What is the president saying?

So many questions that won't be answered and the fu*cking citizen are here defending those bast@rds.

Spit on their heads

We've NEVER had it this bad in Nigeria. Every single public institution is falling and plumbing new depths daily.

Insecurity is at its peak.
Inflation is soaring.
Unemployment is unbelievable.

YET, the president gallivants around the globe, spending tax payer's funds in living a very lavish and irresponsible lifestyle, while his ers wallow in abject poverty.

If BAT had any modicum of self respect and honor, he should have tendered his resignation with apologies after one month in office, because he would have obviously seen that he was chronically unfit for the office of the President.

This is pathetic, sad, and highly unacceptable.

PS
For the empty-he@@ded folks who insulted me when I called out JAMB, I hope you come begging with your tail between your toes. Nonsense!

This really happened?
Well, Nigeria is a banana republic. So long as it doesn't happen to the elites, nobody cares. Let the bandits restrict their activities to the elites and watch them get wiped out in no time.

If any of you allow Fulani terrorist parade ur area with cattles and you sit down and do nothing about it they you are a fooooool.

Please everyone should rise to the task ahead. Don't wait for the shadow government cos they can't save and will never save u



Protect ur territory from Fulani bandits

We are talking about 2027
So it doesn't matter
Any news that doesn't promote jagaban 2027 ambition is not worth the attention.

Next!!

Imagine the pace of progress and the level of security Nigeria could achieve if it were no longer associated with the northern region.

Kashim Shettima is a Big Fat Failure.

With his Boko Haram and Terrorist ties, he promised to handle Insecurity while Jagaban handles the economy.

He has failed and is still failing.

This is happening In the same Zamfara that voted for the Notorious Drug Baron...

2027 is coming and they should vote for him again....

By then, Bandits will start feeding victims to lions and other wild animals.

May God preserve the life of everyone that never voted for this Terrorist Muslim Muslim Ticket.

OMG Infants are now dog food up there?

Let me still see if the usual suspects will comment or post 😏 as it's not about South East

The terrorist APC government should continue rehabilitating and reintegrating them.

It is so sad

But sorry they are busy with 2027

This is what they should be crying against but they'll rather focus their attention on the hunters.

If I talk wetin dey my mind eh.......

Lol. A woman also experienced this in Uromi, edo state and narrated her ordeal after the attack on Northern "hunters", but nobody believed her. People assumed it was a story to justify the attack in Uromi. Now they are narrating it too.

They don't want state of emergency in Zamfara but are quick to subscribe that of Rivers ...ok now

Even sharia that was adopted as state religion can not save the state from bandits onslaught.

Security has really IMPROVED. Nigeria is funny, we know and see truth, but pretend we are sophisticated.I am omo YORUBA, if you care to know

Just a reminder: There is politics, and there is humanity. Funny enough, you people from a particular group celebrate other people's misfortune with reckless abandon while citing "you didn't our tribal messiah" until your own misfortune come and you want others to pity you too. Una go learn sha.

While the Senate are invoking order 78 to allow them borrow more money yet people will still vote these people next election.

OMG!

See the reason why these beasts don't deserve rehabilitation?

Jesus Christ..... ! !

Sometimes I wonder if these beasts were once babies that were nutured and cared for. How on earth did they turn this cold? God forbid.

If BAT wins 2027 election, we might not longer have a country. I'm very serious.

Shitimar will take care of security and Bola will take care of the economy. Howfar?

Give black man gun and power and see the real beast in him.

God might have truly left Africa.

This is so sad, if true
