 The Nigerian Senate has condemned in strong terms the recent attacks on Benwear communities by terrorists. The upper chamber also called on the federal government and other authorities to put appropriate measures in place to forestall the reoccurrence of such an incident. This formed part of the resolutions of the lawmakers when the issue came up during plenary on Wednesday at the upper chamber of the National Assembly. The Senate says it is worried about the worsening speed of insecurity in the country after Sen. Emmanuel O'Deande raised a point of order on the killing of over 50 people in Logo, Goma and Katsunala areas of Benwear state. Contributing to the debate, immediate past president of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, declared that the security architecture in the country has collapsed, leaving Nigerians defenseless and frustrated. Sen. Lawan expressed concern that despite the huge budgetary allocation to defence, terrorists, bandits and other criminal elements are still having the upper hand. The Senate is aware when deeper sadness and no fewer than 50% have been killed in fresh attacks on several communities in Kwandu, Ukum, Logo and Katsunala local government areas of Benwear state by terrorists, parodying our salesmen. Further aware that the affected communities, some of which were attacked as recently as yesterday and which attack are ongoing include Tulu ward, Boiko ward, Kunda ward, Ubaan ward, Uyam ward in the Kumbu local government area, and Udeku, Yaiwa, Nihumba, Tomata and Menakwa areas of Nihumba, all in Kwandu local government in Benwear, Nui, Sen. District. Our citizens, some of them would say they would like to defend themselves, but Mr. President what is the most important purpose of government? It means we will shy away from our sensibility because the most important purpose of any government is security, even when for a second insist on getting improvements and of course construction review is coming. I don't know what we can do better, but the security architecture in Nigeria today has failed woefully and we have said this many times even in the previous assemblies that this thing is not working and we have to find something that works. Deeply worried Senators say killings and violent crimes must be halted urgently. These baddies hide out in forests in our various communities, like in Agatou like I said that time. They have forests and they have locations. So the mystery of it is that why have we not been able to pick them out of these forests? And some of these more and more forests now can degenerate into some Bishah forests again in our various communities. Until we resolve to do what is required of us to do constitutionally, we shouldn't be coming here to be raising motion upon motion every day. This community is attacked, now community is attacked. What have we done as a Senate, as members of the National Assembly, as a third arm of government? This issue of security, we can't continue to be coming here every day or at least every week to stand up because this is the last thing you say now, but let's observe one minister and that's it and then next week we'll have something like that or more than that. Then you say you condemn to observe one minister and after contributions from lawmakers, the Senate unanimously urged service chiefs including the Inspector General of Police to, as a matter of urgency, deploy their men to flush out the criminal elements terrorizing parts of Benway State. If 50 people are killed, or more than 50, and communities are being attacked, we will expect that the governor will either cry out or match our plans with the immediate security apparatus within Benway State to see what he can do before we start bringing the issue to the president.
