Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, claims that the House is taking action to stop the recent wave of attacks in several areas of the nation.
In a statement released on Saturday in Abuja, Mr. Musa Krishi, the Speaker’s special adviser on media and publicity, revealed this.
He claims that Abbas provided the assurance while paying the Emir of Zazzau, Amb, a condolence visit. Ibrahim Bamalli.
According to Krishi, the visit was in response to the collapse of portions of the Zaria Central Mosque on August 11, which resulted in multiple fatalities and numerous injuries.
He claimed that the visit was also motivated by a bandit attack on August 12 in the Zaria neighborhood of Kofar Gayan, which left two people dead.
The Speaker, according to Krishi, expressed sorrow over the unfortunate events and gave the Zazzau Emirate’s leadership and citizens assurance that the House had taken steps to prevent a repeat.
Abbas allegedly gave the Emir the assurance that the military would form a perimeter around some flashpoints to prevent further attacks on the communities in and around Zaria.
Additionally, he cited the following from Abbas: “I want to assure you that based on the way banditry wants to return, we in the House have taken some measures.
“We have started engaging the military, and they will come and establish a formation around the female school at the Kofar Gayan axis. They have assured us that they would do that.
“I also want to assure you that as a son of the land and one of the kingmakers in this palace, I am ready to contribute to the rebuilding of the mosque.
“When it’s time for the work, let me know so that I will contribute my quota to the rebuilding of this important religious edifice.
“We thank you for giving us this opportunity to come and condole with you.” (NAN)
