Sani Yakubu said jihadists from Niger, Mali and Libya and the local bandits operating in Tangaza local government of the state have imposed tax on farmers.<\/p>\n<p>Yakubu, who disclosed this while moving a motion on the floor of the House on Wednesday, said Tangaza\/Gudu Federal Constituency is surrounded by two forests; Tsauna Forest that stretches over to Gwadabawa, Illela and Niger Republic and Kuyan Bana Forest which stretches to Gudu and Niger Republic.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker said the terrorists hibernating there have joined forces, making it more difficult for the deployed security operatives to address the insecurity in the general area.<\/p>\n<p>Yakubu noted that, considering the fact that\u00a0 the people of the area are predominantly farmers and cattle rearers, terrorists have vowed to stop this year\u2019s farming activities if the communities refuse to pay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorried that the two forests house two terrorist groups, the Lakurawa who claimed to be jihadists from Niger, Mali and Libya and the local bandits terrorising the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two used to be sworn enemies, but have now joined forces, making it more difficult for the deployed security operatives to address the insecurity in the general area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisturbed after the deadly act, the terrorist launched another attack to prevent people from giving their loved ones a befitting burial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCognizant that the people of the area are predominantly farmers and cattle rearers and terrorists have vowed to stop this year\u2019s farming activities if the communities refuse to pay tax. If this threat is allowed, it will seriously affect the national food security if adequate measures are not put in place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The member representing Tangaza\/Gudu Federal Constituency of Sokoto State in the House of Representatives, Hon.
