The green chamber also called for a more holistic investigation into the immediate and remote causes of the banditry and insecurity in the Northwest, especially its connection to illegal mining.

It asked the federal government to deploy additional security personnel to the hotbeds of the region and the House committee on legislative compliance to ensure compliance.

The House further mandated the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu to organise a security conference to ensure all hands remain on deck to tackle the continuous menace of banditry/insecurity.

These resolutions followed the adoption of amendments to a motion on the need to address the escalating and persistent insecurity and banditry in the Northwest region of Nigeria, moved by Hon. Kabiru Mai-Palace from Zamfara at plenary on Tuesday.
