Section of senators screening ministers
The Senate has said it would grill the Service Chiefs today and Thursday over the insecurity in the country.
This was disclosed on Tuesday by Senator Tokunbo Abiru while announcing the postponement of the interface between the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance, and Other Financial Institutions from Tuesday to Friday this week.
Abiru told reporters that due to the scheduled appearance of the Service Chiefs, the Senate had decided to postpone the appearance of the CBN governor to Friday.
He said; “We would have fixed Wednesday or Thursday this week as a new day for the interface but the Senate has fixed the two days for critical and constructive engagement with the Service Chiefs”.
Kidnapping and Killings of citizens for ransom have been on the rise in recent months, causing panic in Nigeria.
The Senate had resolved last Tuesday to summon the Service Chiefs to offer explanations on what they were doing about the alarming insecurity in the country.
