The House of Representatives has summoned the National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno ; Chief of Defence Staff, Gen.
Gabriel Olonisakin, and other service chiefs; Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; and Director-General, Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi, over the rising spate of insecurity in Nigeria.The summons was issued based on a motion moved by a member, Mr Sada Soli, over the increasing attacks by bandits in some states in the North-Central and North-East geopolitical zones.
Moving the motion, Soli said, “The House is worried that the magnitude of the attacks on various communities have reached an alarming rate, as these criminals have continued to perpetrate their criminal acts unabated. If this criminality is not urgently addressed, there will be an imminent danger to our food security in the country.
Contributing to the debate, Victor Mela stated that removal of the service chiefs was overdue, as the issue of security should not be trifled with.
