The Niger State House of Assembly has called for the establishment of additional military bases across the state following a bandit attack that reportedly claimed the lives of security personnel. The lawmakers say stronger security deployments are needed to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further attacks.
The appeal comes amid persistent security concerns in parts of Niger State, where armed groups have carried out attacks on communities and security formations. The latest incident has renewed calls for a more effective response to the threat posed by banditry.
Lawmakers are urging the relevant authorities to increase military presence in areas considered vulnerable to attacks. They believe additional bases could improve response times, strengthen surveillance and help security operatives reach threatened communities more quickly.
The reported killing of soldiers has also raised concerns about the risks faced by personnel deployed to combat armed groups. The Assembly’s position reflects growing pressure on security agencies to improve operations and prevent further loss of lives.
The call adds to wider demands for stronger collaboration between the military, other security agencies and local communities. Residents are looking to the authorities for practical measures that will restore confidence, protect lives and property, and improve security across the state.
