Criminals must be flushed out of Nigeria - Senate

Enyinnaya Abaribe, a senator representing Abia-South Senatorial District, has said that regardless of what arguments may be held over insecurity in the country, one resolution that must be reached is to flush out all criminal elements.

Speaking during plenary on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, Abaribe said authorities must not continue to paper over matter when it comes to the issue of security.

The lawmaker who specifically spoke about claims that certain citizens were being sent away from different regions of the country, said only miscreants have been chased out of the forests from where they have been unleashing mayhem on innocent Nigerians.

“No Nigerian is being sent away from anywhere, criminals are being sent away from the forest where they are,” Abaribe argued.

He urged fellow legislators to be mindful of the message they pass and emphasized that the desideratum for solving Nigeria’s security need at this time, is to ensure that all criminal elements coming into the country from wherever they are, be flushed out.
