The House of Representatives has raised serious concerns over the escalating wave of Boko Haram attacks on military formations and the looting of military equipment allegedly worth trillions of naira, warning that failure to act could erode public trust in the government and deepen national insecurity.
During plenary on Monday, lawmakers debated a motion presented by Rep. Ahmed Satomi (APC, Borno), which focused on the recent fire outbreak at the 127 Battalion armoury in Giwa Barracks, Maiduguri, as well as a series of coordinated attacks on military bases across Borno and Yobe States.
