Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi has called on the Federal Government and security agencies to fast-track the prosecution and parade of the culprits behind the kidnap of school children and teachers in Oyo State.

Ningi made the demand during plenary on Wednesday, it was reported.

He warned that any delay in bringing the suspects to trial would “undermine public confidence in the justice system.”

The perpetrators should face justice to act as a deterrent to others, he said.

What is important going forward now is to take a cue.” Now we have people arrested, they must be paraded, prosecuted and the full course of the law taken.

“Delayed prosecution will create another impression that there is something wrong. “So I am calling on the security agency to prosecute them, parade them and make them an example,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ningi, has called on the Nigerian government to take action against the Xenophobic attacks on Nigerian citizens.

The lawmaker called for the Nigerian government to immediately recall its diplomats from South Africa.

The call was said to have been made by Ningi on Tuesday during plenary at the Senate.

His call came amid a spate of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa

While more than 1200 Nigerians were evacuated, the South African government only warned their people, Ningi said.

“Break all diplomatic relations with South Africa. Nigeria has been killing people left right and centre There has never been any action other mouth condemnation.

“This xenophobic attack is not done by mouth, but physically. Imagine, someone in his own house and place of business without any notice and then mobs start to chase that man, killed and burned him.

“As we speak today over 1200 Nigerians are already being evacuated. And what did the government do? Prudency. Caution what?

“Does Nigeria not have a right to live in other countries? Are they to be killed in that manner , even if they are criminal ? And that is why countries like the United States are different. “That is why you could see the relationship between the United States’ citizens and their country,” the Bauchi senator noted.
