Senate Will Summon Wike Over Heightening Insecurity In Abuja – FCT lawmaker, Ireti
Senator Ireti Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that the Senate will summon the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to discuss the worsening banditry situation in Abuja.
Kingibe, made this known as she spoke on the security crisis rocking the capital city during a Channels TV program on Sunday.
She said that when the Senate resumes plenary, the Minister would be summoned to explain his plan to tackle the security crisis.
Senator Kingibe, elected under the Labour Party, LP, platform, lamented the recent surge in kidnapping, killing and other activities by the dreaded bandits in the nation’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 further disclosed that there is a “disconnect” between her and the FCT Minister, accusing the latter of ignoring her messages and letters in the wake of insecurity in the area.
