President Muhammadu Buhari has been summoned by the Nigerian Senate to explain the spate of killings in Nigeria.
The Senate has also agreed to hold a joint session with the House of Representatives which had, on Wednesday, also invited the President.
It expressed concerns about the competence of the country’s security chiefs and the need to declare a state of emergency in the states experiencing security crises.
The decisions were taken based on a motion moved by Senator George Akume on the recent killing of two priests and 17 worshippers in a Catholic church in Benue State.
