JUST IN: Senate to summon Wike over worsening banditry in Abuja

The Senate has announced that it intends to call the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, in response to the worsening security conditions in Abuja.

During a Sunday Channels TV program, Senator Ireti Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory, said this while discussing the security issue roiling the nation’s capital.

She stated that the Minister would be called to explain his strategy for handling security when the Senate reconvenes in plenary.

Elected on the platform of the Labour Party, LP, Senator Kingibe bemoaned the recent uptick in kidnappings, murders, and other acts of violence committed by the notorious bandits in the country’s capital.

“It is not that I am hoping. I know he will be summoned. But whether he responds or not is a different matter entirely. But as the chief security officer of the FCT, he should have a plan.

“He should be able to tell us, the committee, and specifically me, that this is the plan for protecting the people of the FCT. Between him, the police commissioner, and the head of the DSS, they must have a plan”, the Senator said.

The lawmaker went on to say that there is a “disconnect” between her and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), accusing the latter of disregarding her correspondence and messages in the aftermath of the local instability.
