A member representing Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency, Abdussamad Dasuki has commiserated with his constituents affected by recent banditry attacks in Kuchi and Jabo districts of Sokoto State.
Dasuki, who visited the victims on Monday at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Kuchi (Kebbe LGA) and Jabo (Tambuwal LGA), provided immediate relief materials, including assorted food items and other essentials.
Represented by his Senior Legislative Aide, Attahiru Danmadi, the lawmaker assured the victims of his commitment to ensuring adequate measures are taken to safeguard their lives and restore normalcy.
“We are here today to see things for ourselves, and I want to assure you that necessary actions are already being taken to guarantee your safety and bring the perpetrators to justice.

“This is only an immediate intervention. Going forward, you will continue to receive all the necessary support to sustain your livelihood in this difficult period,” Dasuki said.
He disclosed ongoing collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for additional support, assuring that more relief materials would soon be delivered.
The legislator also commended security agencies for their response to the crisis but urged them to intensify efforts to apprehend the criminals.
