Following the worsening security situation in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, the Senate has revealed plans to summon the nation’s capital Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Ireti Kingibe, Senator representing the FCT, made this known while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics on Sunday.
According to her, 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, further lamented the recent surge in kidnapping, killings 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.
