The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has promised that the House under his leadership will facilitate the establishment of a military base In Zaria, Kaduna State, to assist in curbing the spate of banditry in the area. 

This follows the recent resurgence of attacks in Zaria and surrounding communities which has led to several deaths.

While speaking during a condolence visit to the Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Nuhu Bamali, over the recent mosque collapse which claimed ten lives, the lawmaker assured that the Federal Government will do everything within its powers to ensure that bandits are flushed out from Zaria and other neighbouring communities.
