The House of Representatives on Wednesday called on the Federal Government to strengthen security operations in Ekiti State and other vulnerable communities following a deadly attack on a church in Ilejemeje Local Government Area, which left a pastor dead and several worshippers abducted.
The resolution followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Rep. Kolawole Akinlayo during plenary.
Lawmakers urged enhanced intelligence gathering, surveillance, and rapid-response measures to curb rising insecurity and protect rural communities across the country.
