The rate of killings in Nigeria has become a source of
concern to the leadership of the Red Chamber with Saraki raising
concerns about recent developments.
Senate President, Dr.Bukola Saraki has lamented over carnage in Zamfara state where scores of people were killed.
He said, the Senate was getting tired of one minute silence often observed in honour of the dead in Nigeria.
In his apparent abhorrence to incidences of killing across the nation
and lately, in Zamfara communities, he noted that the ugly trend must
not continue.
Reacting to a motion sponsored by Senator Tijjani Kaura representing
Zamfara North Senatorial district, Saraki posited that drastic measures
must be taken to forstall further killing of innocent citizens anywhere
in Nigeria.
‘Distinguished Colleagues, I must say therefore, that we are tired of
observing one minute silence for the dead in this chambers.”
How long do we continue? Something must be done. Enough to these killings, he insisted.
