Rising insecurity: Reps summon service chiefs

The House of Representatives has resolved to summon the National Security Adviser, Maj.-Gen. Babagana Monguno (retd.); Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin, and other service chiefs including the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; and the Director-General, Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi, over the rising spate of insecurity in Nigeria.

The summons were issued based on a motion moved by a member, Sada Soli, over the increasing attacks by bandits in some states in the North-Central and North-East geopolitical zones.

The lawmakers resolved that the top security officials should address the House next week. Punch
