The Senate has expressed grave concern over the recent resurgence of Boko Haram activities in some parts of North-East, particularly to Hong and Gombi Local Government Areas of Adamawa State.

In a motion on urgent national importance moved by Sen. Iya Abbas (Adamawa Central), the Senate noted that the incidences of successive Boko Haram attacks on communities in Hong LGA left thousands of innocent people homeless and displaced.

The Red Chamber catalogued the frequent attacks that affect the following communities among others thus:
“25th February, 2025 Kwapre and Zah were under attack where houses were burnt, schools destroyed, and many people injured.

“15th April, 2025 Banga and Lar communities were attacked, five killed, houses and churches burnt down.

“26th April, 2025, Kwapre in Yadul district, Garaha ward was attacked again. This time 11 members of the local vigilante were killed, houses and public properties destroyed.

“16th May, 2025 (just last week) Kulda in Yadul District, Garaha Ward was attacked, 16 people killed, over 90% of the houses, including places of worship, were burned down.

“Mayo Ladde community in Gaya ward was also attacked. The attack left 6 people dead.”

Senator Abbas in the motion also stated that the neighbouring Gombi LGA has as well been under the Boko Haram attacks. He said “January 17th 2025, 4 people were killed; February 17th 2025, 1 hunter was killed”.

In its resolution, the Senate, “while commanding the brilliant performance of the law enforcement agents, urged for the establishment of a Military base in Hong Local Government Area for reinforcement to the existing personnel of the Nigerian Army and other sister security operatives.

“Directs NEMA to provide relief materials to cushion the effects of the attacks on the affected communities”.

In his remarks, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio said “there must be vigilance” as loss of a lot of lives and communities paying allegiance was unacceptable”.
