From Kenneth Udeh, Abuja

Security chiefs will next week appear before the Senate to explain the reasons behind the rising level of insecurity in the country, this is following a resolve of the Senate on Tuesday to invite Nation’s security heads.

The senators rising from its two hours executive session passed the resolution via a motion which was read by the Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele.

Resuming from its 30 day recess which began on December 30th last year, the Lawmakers who expressed anger over the rising spate of insecurity in the country also resolved to engage with President Tinubu after they must have met with the security Chiefs over the insecurity scourge.

Expressing their anger the senators via the motion listed the various incidents of kidnappings, killings and series of crimes occurring in the country.

At the Senate plenary presided by the Senate President Godswill Akpabio the motion titled “Motion of the state of insecurity in the Nigerian Nation” lamented how kidnapped victims were killed despite the payment of huge sums of ransoms.sThe Senators also recounted the killings in Benue, Jos and other parts of the country expressing worry over the level of infrastructure and economic losses caused by insecurity.

Part of the motion read;

“People have been killed after the collection of ransoms. The Senate is also aware of several cases of kidnappings all over the country where huge ransoms have been paid and several of the victims still get killed.

“The Senate is also aware that the recent killings and the abduction of an unknown number of pupils of Apostolic Faith School from their school bus in Ekiti state has further admitted the level of insecurity in the state.

“The Senate also notes the unfortunate bomb explosion at Bodija Ibadan ( Oyo State) where not less than five lives were lost and several residential houses , schools , hotels , religious worship centers were destroyed.

“The Senate also notes the killings of several residents in Mangu Bokos and Barkin Ladi communities in Plateau State.

“That the Senate do invoke the earlier resolutions to invite the security Chiefs for an interactive session with the Senate to explain the level of insecurity that is plaguing the country.”

The Senators via voice votes presided by Senate President Akpabio passed the prayers of the motion to invite the security Chiefs, engage President Tinubu and also observed a moment of silence for the victims and security operatives who have lost their lives as result of the insecurity in the nation.

The President of the Senate lamented how kidnappings had become a criminal enterprise in the country where Middle men collect ransoms on behalf of kidnapped victims.

Akpabio announced the decision of the Senate to meet with President Tinubu over the matter. He said: “People have turned into merchandise where middle men are collecting ones on behalf of victims, the Senate has also noted the killings in Plateau.

“We will also fix a time to discuss the situation with Mr. President so that we and our children can sleep without two eyes closed.

“We will take this up with Mr. President after the interaction with all the security Chiefs next week so that we can discuss and see how we can tackle this situation.”

Tinubu is a failed president

Nigerians are being killed , kidnapped and used for ritualists under his clueless watch .

Tinubu is everything bad with Nigeria I fear for what becomes of this country in a year time with the way things are going .

We warned Nigerians against voting a clueless man to lead them but some of them never listened now everywhere is red .

Noise makers

PrinceOfLagos:
Tinubu is a failed president

shush it , things will eventually work out

EreluRoz:
shush it , things will eventually work out

Your president has abandoned his duty and went to France to visit his friends

Tinubu don't care about Nigerians , he just want to be president with nothing to offer .

Tinubu is a monumental failure, worst than president buhari

Shetima promised to handle security and that's why we voted him in, he should be summoned and not the security chiefs that are under him.

The FUMING is too early.
Politicians have taken their children to safer climes.

They also FUMED in the last administration yet no appreciable result.

Once the foundation is faulty, the whole structure will not be safe.

See this idiot looters Tinubu is not even in the country.

COMRADES, inviting them for how long? The president should be impeached asap for peace to reign in the land because was not voted inec imposed him on sane Nigerians
