Ahmed Adamu Saba, Member of the House of Representatives for the Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has urged President Bola Tinubu and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to intervene and protect constituents from banditry and kidnapping.

The lawmaker expressed deep concern over the recent abduction of a businessman and his manager in one of the communities, stating that such incidents have sparked widespread fear and mourning among residents. In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Digital Media, Bello Hamidu, Mr. Saba called for urgent collaboration with security agencies to address the escalating threats.

He highlighted the need for intensified efforts to curb criminal activities and restore safety in areas plagued by banditry and kidnappings.

"Infact, as we speak, they're asking for more ransom and threatening to harm the victims.

"My people can no longer sleep with their two eyes closed, so to go to farm for their means of livelihood is now difficult for the fear of being attacked.

"My people can no longer freely go to do their legitimate businesses, it's that bad.

"This is not acceptable, and this kind of inhuman and criminal activities can no longer be accepted. Something needs to be done urgently to return the situation to normal in my constituency.

"This development is unacceptable in any community and surely cannot continue to happen."

He called for calm, assuring that peace would soon return to the affected communities.
