The House of Representatives has summoned the nation’s Service Chiefs and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, over the worsening security situation across the country.

The decision follows growing concerns over escalating incidents of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes and other violent crimes affecting several parts of Nigeria.

Lawmakers are expected to seek explanations on the current security challenges, ongoing military and security operations, and measures being implemented to safeguard lives and property.

The summon underscores increasing legislative scrutiny of the nation’s security architecture amid calls for more decisive action to address persistent threats and restore public confidence.

Further details are expected as the House outlines the scope of the engagement and the security chiefs respond to the summons.
