NIGER SPEAKER LAMENTS KILLING OF SOLDIERS BY BANDITS.

The Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, has condemned the killing of soldiers in Kwanan Dutse and Gulbin Boka communities of Mariga Local Government Area as "barbaric, wicked, and inhumane." 

According to him, the incident, which occurred on Tuesday, has created a significant security challenge in the area.

Expressing sorrow over the death of the soldiers, who had been providing security for the local government, noting that the attack was a setback for the farming communities in the area, he attributed the incident to bandits from neighboring states. 

Encouraging the military not to be discouraged in their mission to keep the state safe, assuring that the state government would continue to support the military and other security agencies, he urged the military to track down and bring the perpetrators to justice. 

He commended the military for their efforts in maintaining security in the area and expressed hope that the SUSI project would help alleviate the suffering of the people.
