Borno Killings, Act of Barbarism against Innocent Nigerians, Says Lawan

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has condemned the
killing on Saturday of rice farmers by terrorists in Zabarmari in
Borno State.

Ola Awoniyi, Special Adviser Media to President of the Senate,
revealed in a statement made available to Daily Independent in
Damaturu on Sunday.

Lawan decries the incident as another act of babarism against
innocent Nigerians minding their own business.

The Senate President condoles with the families of the victims,
Government and people of Borno State over the senseless
carnage.

“This incident is heart-rending and again demonstrates why we
must all continue to support the security forces to thwart the
criminals in their evil determination to impose a reign of terror
on the North East of Nigeria.

“I commiserate with the families of the deceased, Governor
Babagana Zulum and the entire people of Borno State and assure them
of the sympathy and solidarity of the National Assembly.

“This heinous crime is particularly sad given the ongoing
spirited efforts by the Federal Government at ensuring food
security in Nigeria through the many programmes that have been put
in place to support the agriculture sector.

“I urge the security agencies to redouble their efforts with a
view to bringing an end to mindless violent crimes in our country,”
Lawan said.

The Senate President said the National Assembly will continue to
support the Executive in strengthening the security agencies
towards improving the security of lives and property of Nigerians
everywhere in the country.
