A member of the House of Representatives from Zamfara State, Aminu Jaji, has revealed that bandits in his constituency recently fed newly-born twins to their dogs.
The former Chairman of the House Committee on National Security and Intelligence made the revelation on Wednesday, decrying the “terrifying insecurity”.
Jaji, who spoke with National Assembly Correspondents, said: “Over 200 attacks have been recorded in communities across Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State alone, including Dayo, Banga, Gabaki, Korea and Madura.
“Just two days ago, 60 people were abducted in Banga.
“The kidnappers demanded a ransom of N30 million.
“Out of those abducted, 10 were killed, and the fate of the remaining 50 hangs in the balance.
“We gave assurances that if our party came to power, insecurity will become history.
“Unfortunately, the reality today is different.

“I said earlier, whether it is micro or macro operation, something must be done.
