Meanwhile, the lawmaker representing Kaduna Central senatorial district at the red chamber, Mallam Uba Sani, has attributed the rate of bandit attacks and kidnappings in the state to the deplorable condition of federal roads, especially on Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria roads.

Legit.ng's regional reporter in Kaduna, Nasir Dambatta, reports that the senator expressed anger over the delay in rehabilitation of the roads during a town hall meeting of stakeholders on the rehabilitation of Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano dual carriageway.

Speaking on the renewed wave of attacks on communities in Igabi and Kajuru local government areas of the state and the repeated bandit hold-ups along the Kaduna-Abuja road, Senator Sani called for an immediate end to non-state actors holding the nation to ransom.
