On Wednesday, the House of Representatives urged security agencies to stop attacks and save the lives of Nigerians traveling along the Kaduna-Abuja Highway.
The House passed a motion by Abubakar Hassan Nalaraba (APC, Nassarawa), who described the rising number of road attacks as alarming.
Bandit attacks on travelers on the Abuja-Kaduna Highway, according to Nalaraba, have instilled fear and anxiety in Nigerians, threatening their freedom of movement for socio-economic engagements.
“Despite funds being released for the upgrade of security apparatus, there appears to be no improvement in the security situation in Nigeria,” said Ossai Nicholas Ossai.
