Terrorists on Rampage: National Assembly Presses for Adamawa Garrison

Published

on

The House of Representatives has called for the immediate establishment of a permanent military base in the Madagali/Michika axis of Adamawa State in response to fresh waves of violent attacks that left several people dead and others abducted.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The resolution, passed during Thursday’s plenary, followed growing concerns over persistent security breaches in the area. Lawmakers also mandated a thorough investigation into the escalating violence in the North-East, particularly in the affected parts of Adamawa.

To curb the ongoing insecurity, the House urged the Chief of Defence Staff, the Inspector General of Police, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services to immediately deploy a joint military and police task force to the region and establish a permanent Forward Operating Base. It also recommended that Madagali/Michika be designated as a security priority zone.

The resolution stemmed from a motion sponsored by Hon. Zakaria Nyampa, who represents the Michika/Madagali Federal Constituency. Nyampa decried the recent killings and abductions in Dar and Pambla communities, where armed assailants reportedly killed at least five people and abducted many others, including women and children.

“These recurring attacks are a grim reminder of the vulnerability of my constituents, who are left at the mercy of violent actors without adequate security protection,” Nyampa said. “What the people of Madagali and Michika need now is not just our sympathy, but concrete action, reliable security, and a sense of justice.”

He lamented the absence of a permanent security structure in the region, which he said has made rural dwellers—mostly farmers—easy targets for terrorists. Nyampa warned that the ongoing insecurity is not only a human tragedy but also undermining agriculture, deepening food insecurity, and worsening the humanitarian crisis in the region.

He further criticised the lack of timely and effective response from security agencies, which, he noted, has emboldened attackers and allowed the cycle of violence to continue unchallenged.

The House observed a minute of silence in honour of the victims of the most recent attacks and called on the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to provide urgent humanitarian relief to the displaced—ranging from food and shelter to medical and psychosocial support.

In addition, lawmakers urged the Federal Government to initiate long-term recovery and rehabilitation programmes to rebuild trust, restore livelihoods, and support victims.

The House also mandated its joint Committees on National Security and Intelligence, Defence, and Police Affairs to conduct a detailed investigation into the recurring security breaches and report their findings within two weeks for further legislative action.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
