Senator representing Niger South, Bima Enagi has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari administration of being incompetent in the fight against insecurity.

Enagi stated this on the floor of the senate on Wednesday while speaking to a debate on a motion sponsored by fellow senator representing Niger east, Sani Musa.

Musa had called the motion to drawn the house attention to the abduction of students and staff of Government Science Secondary School, Kagara, headquarters of Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State by terrorists on Wednesday morning.

Reacting, Enagi lamented the abduction and complained about the insecurity in the country.

He said, “As my brother reported, early this morning terrorists went to a secondary and kidnapped students, small students,” he said.

“The enemies of God, bandits, terrorists, kidnappers are everywhere. Where are we heading to in this country? What else do we need as lawmakers that we are not doing? Can we rightly say that the government, is incompetent? Because this issue has been discussed here over and over and there is no improvement.

“It is getting worse, I’m sure everybody here has stories to tell about the security challenges. What else are we supposed to do that we are not doing? Are we supposed to amend the laws in this country to give every citizen freedom to carry arms?

“Are we going to amend the constitution to give more powers to the governors who are the security heads in their various states because our government at the centre is showing incompetence in handling insecurity because it is not his son or his daughter that has been kidnapped.

“I expect everybody in government to think like that.”
