The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Ahmed Idris Wase has assured his constituents that the incessant attack by bandits in some communities in the area will soon be over.
Speaking when he visited the Emir of Wase His Royal Highness Muhammad Sambo Haruna in his palace, to commiserate with him and the victims and families of those affected, the Deputy Speaker said stringent measures are being put in place to prevent the re-occurrence of the attacks.
“I want to ensure you your highness that stringent security measures are being put in place to ensure our people and their properties are secured. Security issues and strategies are not discussed in public, but I can assure you within a few weeks the security challenges will be over.
“I called on the entire people of Wase to work collectively, to put our heads together to ensure the right thing is done. The security and safety of our people is our top priority and anything short of that is unacceptable.
“I want to encourage my people to be prayerful and steadfast and to ensure that we give the security agencies the maximum support they may require to fish out the perpetrators of this dastardly act.
‘I want to also assure your highness that we are hoping very soon that President Muhammadu Buhari will assent to my bill for the creation of a federal medical Centre Wase, though we had some hiccups but it was corrected.
In his response, the Emir appreciated the effort of the Deputy Speaker in converting banditry and other forms of criminality in the Wase federal constituency.
He assured the Deputy Speaker of his total support while urging him to continue to support the less privileged and the unemployed in the society.
Recall that some part of Wase federal constituency has recorded breaching of peace in recent times resulting in the loss of lives and properties.
