Senator Sahabi Yau, representing Zamfara North federal constituency, who visited 11 of the victims at the observation unit of the Accident and Emergency Department, Asokoro General Hospital, gave the sum of N80, 000 to clear part of the bills of the wounded. The lawmaker also promised to table the case before the National Assembly, adding that with the other lawmakers representing the people, they would take care of the bills. Hon. Biliya Shinkafi representing Shinkafi Zurumi federal constituency also visited the victims at the hospital. Yau said, “As a lawmaker, I must respect the law and, for now, we will try to get to the root cause of this problem. The security agency said that they had a confrontation with Boko Haram sect; we are not saying no; we have not got the details, but most of them have the identity cards of the work they do. So, you can see that there is a lapse in between, which must be identified -- and that lapse is that version. Yes, it affects my people, they are not Boko Haram members, they are people that do legitimate activities in Abuja; only that they cannot afford the cost of renting a house, which is why they opted for an uncompleted building where they pay N200 daily to sleep in the building.” “And so far, they (security agents) have not shown us the arms they claimed to have found in the house. They said there was crossfire between the so-called Boko Haram members and the security agencies. Where are the arms?”
