Senate mourn 23 travellers burnt to death by terror bandits in Sokoto State, Northwest Nigeria

The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday mourned the deaths of 23 travelers burnt to ashes on Monday by terror bandits in Angwan Bawa, Sabin Gari Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

The 23 travellers were on their way to Gayan in Kaduna State en route to the Southern part of the country when they were intercepted and killed by the bandits.

Coming under order 43 of the Senate rules, Senator Ibrahim Gobir (Sokoto East), drew the attention of his colleagues to the gruesome murder of the travelers.

He lamented the spate of killings, which, he warned were alarming and on the increase. 

He called on the military and security agencies to immediately intervene by deploying personnel to secure the lives of residents in states affected by the activities of bandits. 

The Senate, thereafter, observed a minute silence to mourn the victims of Monday’s attack by bandits.
