‎Senate may summon Service Chiefs over renewed Boko Haram attacks

The Senate, on Tuesday, hinted that it may summon Service Chiefs to brief it behind closed door, over the resurgence of Boko Haram activities in North Eastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.

Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, moved the motion, when the Senate reconvened.

“The insurgency in the North East is resurfacing. If we need to invite the Security Chiefs to brief the Senate in a closed door session, I will formally move a motion at our next sitting,” Ndume said.

Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided, ruled that the issue will be discussed at another legislative day, where a final decision will be taken.
