Senator Sunday Marshall Katung has condemned the recent bandit attacks in Southern Kaduna, where 22 locals, mostly women and children, were abducted.
The attacks, which occurred in Kugauta and Kitanda communities of Kauru Local Government Area, have heightened concerns over security in the region.
Katung, in a statement, described the incidents as “heinous criminality” and called for urgent military intervention. He emphasized that the security and welfare of the people remain a priority, citing constitutional provisions.
To address the crisis, he announced plans to collaborate with the Kaduna State Government and the Chief of Defence Staff to establish a Forward Operation Base (FOB) in Kauru and other affected areas.
He urged residents to cooperate with security agencies by providing intelligence that could lead to the arrest of the assailants and their informants.
