Senator Abdul Ningi of Bauchi Central on Wednesday delivered an emotional address during a plenary session aired from 4:23 by NASS TV from on Thursday, November 27, 2025, highlighting the rising insecurity in his constituency and calling for urgent institutional response from military and police oversight committees. Ningi criticized the failure of relevant committees. “We learned from Governor of Kebbi State that officers were withdrawn. And we lament. Are we not having standing committees that are supposed to call these people? What did you do? And we keep passing the ball from Maradona to Pele. It is not going to work for us.”
He then disclosed the killing of security personnel in Bauchi: “Mr. President, just yesterday, five police officers, three of whom I know personally, were cold bloody murdered in my constituency.” He said the officers were attacked while intervening in a clash: “They went to separate a fight between bandits and farmers. And these gentlemen were cold bloody murdered.” Ningi explained that the officers were unarmed: “They were so brutally killed, not in the night. They were not carrying weapons. Only one of them was carrying AK-47. Only one of them, the DSP.” He honoured the fallen officers: “Inspector Amahil Yunusa, killed. Inspector Idris Ahmad, killed. Corporal Issa Musazu, killed.”
He lamented the suffering of their families: “Mr. President. You can imagine the agony that these families are undergoing.” Reflecting on Nigeria’s security history, he said: “In the time past, we are having some of the best military formations, military officers, we are having some of the best police officers, best police officers, and police formation all across the globe.” He cited past excellence. “In fact, at a particular time, Major General Agoyi got an outstanding honor as one of the best serving generals in Africa.”
He questioned the nation’s decline: “And today, Mr. President, did you ask yourself whether the Agoyis and the Dombardos of those years and several of the Danjuma’s, several of them that are still alive, whether anybody has called, Gentlemen, where did we miss it? Why were we the very best military country in Africa? Why were we the best police country in Africa? And why are we here?” He concluded with a reminder of shared responsibility: “So it is a collective endeavor.” View, More,
