The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and Commissioner of Police for the territory, Benneth Igwe, have been summoned by the senate as an aftermath of insecurity in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
The resolution of the upper legislative chamber followed a motion sponsored by Ned Nwoko, senator representing Delta north, on Wednesday.
As insecurity is on the rise in the country, especially the nation’s capital.
Nwoko recalled the killing of Chris Agidy, his senior legislative aide last year.
The police, however, stated that they have arrested the killer of the late Agidy, according to The Cable.
In adopting prayers of the motion, the senate urged Kayode Egbetokun, inspector-general of police, to increase patrols and surveillance within the FCT.
Speaking after the motion was adopted, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, said the incidents of insecurity in the nation’s capital are worrisome.
“The FCT minister and police commissioner would appear before us in closed session on a date to be sent to them by the clerk of the senate.
“Their expected appearance before the senate is to hear from them, the measures and strategies being put in place to stem the ugly tide of kidnappings in FCT, Akpabio said.
