Following the recent attack on Taraba community that led to the killing of over 40 people including soldiers by terrorists, the Nigerian senate has mourned the losses.
This was observed in the Senate chamber on Wednesday during plenary.
Senator Emmanuel Bwacha representing Taraba South raised the point of order.
He intimated the senate about the series of attacks by terrorists on the southern Taraba communities during the Sallah break.
He disclosed that over 40 people including soldiers were killed during the invasion by the terrorists on motorcycles.
He said the soldiers killed were deployed to protect the community.
While appealing to the federal government to support the victims of the attack with relief materials, he consoled the military over the losses incurred.
In his remark, the Senate president, Ahmed Lawan called on Nigerians to support security operatives with helpful information.
While noting the chamber's support for the military, he said, “Here in the Senate and National Assembly, we have been appropriating funds for our armed forces, and I believe that this administration has provided more resources to them to fight the various forms and ramifications of insecurity in the country than any previous one.
“So, we will continue to give that kind of support."
A minute of silence was observed by the senate in respect for the dead.
