The House of Representatives on Wednesday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency on security.
The decision followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance by Chief Whip of the House Mohammed Monguno. While insisting that the attack on the travellers was avoidable, the lawmaker blamed failure of intelligence gathering for the attack, adding that there was information making the rounds about the movement of the insurgents from one village to another.
Jaha also wondered why the military should introduce super camps where they retire to and close checkpoints, thereby preventing movements by motorists. Elumelu also drew the attention of the House to a trending video on the social media of soldiers complaining of low morale, adding that lawmakers had been talking about the same issue of insecurity on a daily basis without any action.“Our brothers and sisters are being killed daily in the Northeast. My worry is that one day, we will be chased out of this chamber.
