Senate
has condemned in strong terms the killings of innocent students and people in
Mubi, Adamawa State and consequently urged the federal government to apprehend
the perpetrators of the act and bring them to book.
This
resolution was reached after a debate on a motion sponsored by Senator Muhammed
Bindo Jubrila representing Adamawa North, on the brutal killing of over twenty
students of the Federal Polytechnic Mubi and other persons on Monday.
Senator
Jubrila lamented that the security situation in the country is very alarming
while urging the Federal Government to find urgent solution before it gets out
of hand.
In his
contribution, Dputy Senate Majority Leader, Senator Abdul Ningi said that
the political class are to blame for unrest in the country especially
when people who are not capable to rule find themselves on the helm of affairs.
Senator
Ningi also stated that security agencies are overstretched and called on
Nigerians to rise-up to champion the right course for the nation especially now
that the value of human life is absent in the minds of people.
However,
the Senate President Senator David Mark canvasses for capital punishment for
terrorists in the country, saying that unless that is done people hungry for
blood of their fellow humane being would not desist from their bad act.
After exhaustive deliberations
on the motion, the senate observed a minute silence in honour of the the
deceased.
