The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday urged the military to urgently redeploy sufficient personnel and advanced equipment to the North-East in response to a deadly resurgence of Boko Haram attacks, including the killing of 12 soldiers in Marte, Borno State.
The call came after lawmakers adopted a motion titled “The Resurgence of Boko Haram in Borno and Yobe,” sponsored by Senate Chief Whip Mohammed Monguno and co-sponsored by senators representing the affected states.
