\n
The senate has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a full-scale war on gunmen terrorising communities across the country.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe upper legislative chamber\u2019s request came after Uba Sani, senator representing Kaduna central, drew the attention of the senate to an attack on a Kaduna-bound train.<\/div>\n
\nThe attack occurred around Kateri-Rijana area of Kaduna on Monday.<\/div>\n
\nThe train was said to have almost reached Rigasa, its final stop when the gunmen opened fire on it.<\/p>\n

Some passengers were killed while others sustained injuries.<\/p>\n

While contributing to a debate on the motion sponsored by Sani on Tuesday, Gabriel Suswam, senator representing Benue north-east, said the country is under attack and urgent measures should be taken to address insecurity in the country.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cIt is time enough for the appropriate authority to have taken decisive actions to address the insecurity in our country,\u201d Suswam said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the time that we as a senate meet with the leadership of this country to sit down and talk.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\nOn his part, Danjuma Laah, senator representing Kaduna south, said if Nasir el-Rufai, Kaduna governor, is not capable of solving the security problems in the state, he should seek help.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the whole country, the issue of Kaduna state is the worst. There must be an urgent action immediately to solve all the problems,\u201d Laah said.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cIf the governor is short of manpower, let him cry out.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nThe motion was adopted after Senate President Ahmad Lawan put it to a voice vote.<\/p>\n

In the motion, the upper legislative chamber asked the army and the air force to sustain their operations on the enclaves of these gunmen.<\/p>\n

It also asked the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to provide relief materials for the victims of the attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
