 The Nigerian Senate has condemned the assassination attempt on Anambra South Senator Ifan Yuba, describing the incident of September 11 as traumatizing and one attack too many. This position of the Senate in plenary was a sequel to a motion brought as a matter of urgent public importance by Anambra Central Senator Uche Okunife. The lawmakers expressed dismay over the attack which resulted in the death of Senator Uba's personal aides and security operatives attached to him. The Senate is worried that these attacks by armed men have continued in the Southeast despite repeated government assurances to address this pervasive security crisis in our country, especially in the Southeast. The Senate further worried that if the federal government does not intervene urgently, these heinous and barbaric killings may continue, thereby subjecting the people of Anambra State to untold fear and hardship. In view of the points raised, Mr. President, I wish to accordingly urge the Nigerian Senate to, one, observe a mini-silence in honour of the victims that lost their lives in this very unfortunate attack, two, to direct the Nigerian police force, Department of State Services, and other relevant security agencies to carry out comprehensive investigations into the incident with a view to arresting and prosecuting the perpetrators. The Senate mandates the Nigerian police force, Department of State Services, and relevant security agencies to report findings back to the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence as well as the Senate Committee on Police Affairs within two weeks of this motion. All of us, all Nigerians, we should be interested and we should all contribute our quota in providing security for our people. Mr. President, I say this most especially in connection with the activities of some of the state governments. Who could do more? It's not just enough for Nigerian police alone to be saddled with this responsibility.
