The Member representing Bende Federal Constituency and the Spokesperson of the House has assured the people of Bende Federal Constituency that security  measures will be put in place to prevent subsequent incidents of violence and insecurity.

The Member made this statement in a press release today, May 13th 2021 following the attack on the Bende Police Station. He expressed sadness over the issues of insecurity currently going on in the constituency, highlighting that this is the third time there has been an attack in two months.

The representative mentioned that as a result of past incidents, plans were already on ground with the DPO to strengthen the security in the communities. Adding that the Police in Bende Federal Constituency is overwhelmed due to lack of adequate man power for the size of the constituency.

He implored security agencies to pay more attention to intelligence reports and act accordingly.

He further urged the youths of the community to take responsibility against those who intend to destroy the peace in the community.

He wrote

I call on all security agencies to take intelligence more seriously as this could have been prevented by acting on intelligence reports. I also encourage the youths of Bende to be vigilant against those who seek to destroy lives and properties in our communities as plans.

He added that while he would prevail upon the National Assembly and the security committees to ensure these situations are handled properly, he called on stakeholders to have an emergency strategy meeting on ways to curb this insecurity issues in the communities.

He assured the good people of Bende that the hoodlums will be unmasked soon and appropriate measures put in place to prevent subsequent incidents

PRESS RELEASE

Attack on Bende Police Station by Unknown Gunmen

I am deeply saddened by the unfortunate incidents happening in our communities. It has indeed become a matter of urgency to curb these issues and bring them to a halt.

As with any issues of violence, I totally condemn the attack on the Bende Police Station by unknown gunmen on the 12th of May 2021. This would be recorded as the third attack in the constituency in two months. It is indeed barbaric and an obvious ploy to destroy the peace of the community.

As a result of the past incidents, plans were already in motion with the DPO for better security before this incident happened. Sadly, the Police in Bende Federal Constituency is overwhelmed due to lack of adequate man power to police a constituency of that size. It is unacceptable that only seven policemen or less were in charge of a station of that size. A situation where the community leaders have to contribute to build a police station is not acceptable.

I call on all security agencies to take intelligence more seriously as this could have been prevented by acting on intelligence reports. I also encourage the youths of Bende to be vigilant against those who seek to destroy lives and properties in our communities as plans.

While I prevail upon the National Assembly and the Security Committees to ensure that these ugly security situations are handled with appropriate measures, I am calling on stakeholders to have an emergency meeting soon to strategize on possible areas to support our security groups in curbing this menace.

I assure the people of Bende that these hoodlums will be unmasked and security measures put in place to prevent subsequent incidents.

Signed,

Rep. Benjamin Okezie Kalu
Spokesperson, House of Representatives

Member, Representing Bende Federal Constituency
