The senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has called on President Bola Tinubu to regularly brief Nigerians on efforts being made to tackle insurgency and banditry across the country.
Ndume made the call in a statement released on Sunday, amid outrage over the recent killing of residents of Ngoshe in Borno State and the reported abduction of over 100 women and children by insurgents.
Last Wednesday, terrorists from Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province carried out coordinated attacks on the Ngoshe community in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
During the attack, the insurgents were said to have killed some soldiers, the chief imam of the town and several community elders after first assaulting a military base belonging to the 82 Division Task Force Battalion.
The attackers later stormed the community and an Internally Displaced Persons camp.
The development has sparked fresh concerns about security in the North-East despite the Federal Government’s recent moves to strengthen military operations.
Reports had it that Tinubu, last November, declared a nationwide security emergency and ordered additional recruitment into the Armed Forces.
