The Senate also urged security agencies to immediately deploy drones and interceptors in tracking kidnappers that were asking for ransom.
It equally urged the Federal Government to set up an inter-agency task force to tackle cases of banditry and kidnapping in Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara and Niger States.
The Upper Chamber urged security agencies to give special cover to foreign workers and tourists. It also urged telecommunication companies to provide security agencies with information in areas where kidnappings were taking place.
Contributing, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu said the creation of state police was one of the major solutions to cases of killings in the country.
