The Senate has attributed the recent suicide bombings in Gwoza town, Borno state, to intelligence failures by security forces.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio made this remark on Wednesday during his contribution to the debate on a motion regarding the incident, sponsored by the Senate Chief Whip, Mohammed Ali Ndume, during plenary.
In his lead debate, Ndume identified the Mandara Mountains, Sambisa Forest, and the Lake Chad region as remaining terrorist strongholds.
The Senate urged the Federal Government to direct the military to rethink its conventional strategies in combating insurgency and other crimes by adopting modern technology and scientific tactics.
The lawmakers noted that relying solely on conventional methods, such as troop deployment, appears ineffective, as terrorists continue to employ unconventional tactics to kill Nigerians and destroy livelihoods.
