The Senate also came to the conclusion to use the sum of N10 billion from the 2019 budget for victims of the attacks by bandits. Marafa used his motion to show how people are being killed by bandits every day in the Zamfara State.
He said the incident has made many people homeless as they rushed out of their communities to seek protection in other places.
Other Senators who contributed to the debate on the motion also condemned the level of insecurity not only in the state but also in other states like Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, Plateau, Benue, Taraba, among others.
