Senate to hold another security summit

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has said the upper chamber would hold an “all-inclusive” national summit on security.The summit was drafted to provide an all-inclusive platform for Nigerian leaders with a view to finding solutions to challenges posed by insecurity.

Contributing to the motion, Tolulope Odebiyi stressed the need to demand action by our security forces and the presidency.“Continuous killings like this brings a feeling of hopelessness that nothing is being done. If necessary, let’s send a delegation to the presidency to sit and discuss an action plan to be taken.“Apart from the security situation, there must be other plans be it political, to bring all the groups together and find a permanent situation,” he said.

“It is very obvious that our internal security is a shambles. It is nothing to write home about. We don’t even have internal security so we cannot even be talking about next level. We need a robust conference on our security arrangement in this country. Many more have been killed that we don’t know. It is beyond the federal government,” he said.

The Senate thereafter drew the attention of the federal government to the continuous rising cases of insecurity in different parts of the nation. It also condemned the murder of Ms Olakunrin and commiserated with the family.
