The Chairman of Kwali Area Council of the FCT, Danladi Chiya, has said the killing of his people by bandits is getting out of hand.
Chiya, while speaking with newsmen after a security meeting which had representatives of security agencies and traditional rulers in attendance at the conference hall of the council, said the upsurge in attacks by the gunmen was giving residents sleepless nights.
He said it was on that premise that the council decided to summon an emergency security meeting to deliberate on how to tackle and checkmate kidnappings and killings by bandits in the area.
He stressed the need for all security agencies to synergise to ensure that insecurity in the area was tackled.
“How can someone just go and carry a young graduate and slaughter as if they are a killing goat?” Chia asked.
He added that, “They didn’t even ask for ransom or anything; they killed the young man just like that.”
The chairman further said he prayed that God would intervene to curtail the killings, even as he assured that several measures had been put in place to ensure the protection of lives and property in the council.
