The Senate on Tuesday, ordered the Minister of Defence, the service chiefs, and heads of the Nigerian Police Force and the Department of State Service to appear before it over the unending insecurity situation in the country.

The summon was motivated by a motion moved by Senator Bello Mandiya from Katsina State on the abduction of about 330 students of a secondary school in the state by unknown bandits.

The Red Chamber also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the report of the Senate Committee on Security challenges without further delay.

Members of the Senate, therefore, passed a vote of no confidence on the various heads of security agencies in the country over their inability to prevent the abduction of the innocent children.

The Senate also lamented how Buhari has continued to ignore all resolutions passed by the Senate on the issue of insecurity in the country

They insisted that the nation’s chief security officer should sack the service chiefs without further delay.
