The Member of Parliament for Binduri, Issifu Mahmoud, has assured residents that concrete measures are being taken to restore peace and stability following a wave of violent attacks in the area, including the recent tragic killing of a mother and her four children in Benguri.
In a press statement issued on Monday, April 21, the MP emphasised that he is working closely with security agencies and relevant authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent further violence.
“I assure you that we are working closely with the relevant authorities to restore peace and bring the perpetrators to justice,” the statement said.
The Binduri MP also commended the military for their swift action in arresting suspects and seizing arms believed to be linked to the incident. He encouraged the security agencies to continue with their efforts until peace is fully restored, not only in Binduri but across the broader Kusaug area.
However, he expressed concern over the reported burning of seized motorbikes by the military, urging that all such seizures be handled through proper legal channels.
“I commend the military for their professional conduct and diligence in making arrests and seizure of arms and ammunitions believed to have a connection with the slain mother and her four children,” he stated.
“I condemn the act of seizing and burning of motorbikes by the military and rather urge that seized motorbikes should be kept in the custody of the security agencies and due processes regarding the ban on riding of motorbikes be followed,” he added.
The MP called on residents to remain calm, vigilant, and cooperative with law enforcement as the situation continues to unfold.
