The Member representing Yamaltu/Deba Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Amb.

The petition was submitted at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Hajiya Amina Mohammed.
According to the lawmaker, the petition focuses on the devastating impact of hippopotamus attacks and persistent farmer-herder conflicts, which he said continue to threaten lives, livelihoods and peaceful coexistence in communities across Yamaltu/Deba.
Garba said the submission was made on behalf of the people of Yamaltu/Deba Federal Constituency as part of his efforts to ensure that the challenges confronting his constituents receive attention beyond the national level.

The lawmaker said the petition seeks international support and appropriate interventions to address the humanitarian and security implications of the challenges, while promoting sustainable solutions that will protect communities and strengthen peaceful coexistence.
He reaffirmed his commitment to representing the interests of his constituents and ensuring that their concerns are heard at the highest levels of government and international institutions.
