āMy heart is pained seeing the bloodletting in my constituency. Women are raped and killed. Men are maimed and children rendered fatherless.
“This development is really sad, especially that it has remained a recurring decimal.
“We have made several appeals to the federal government, we paid courtesy visit to His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari on our predicament.
“Yet, no end to these marauders’ carnage as they keep killing and maiming our peopleā, he said.
āThe youths in my constituency have decided henceforth,to defend themselves in view of the failure of the federal government to address the lingering challenge. We have tried to calm them down all this while, assuring them of federal governmentās interventionā.
“Now they have lost hope, and are deciding to defend themselves in any way they can.”
