Federal and state governments to act fast
Siddiki also urged the Nigerian government and other relevant agencies to ensure that the situation and other insecurity challenges across the country are brought under control.
His words:
“It is evident that while our herders have suffered victims of the dastardly operations by the hoodlums, other Nigerians, including indigenes have also fallen victims. Government and private valuables have been lost to these gangs.
“It is, therefore, a burden on society which everyone and the government are called upon to contribute to its reduction and eventual eradication."
