The House of Representatives on Tuesday summoned the nation’s Service Chiefs and the Minister of Finance to appear before it and provide a detailed account of funds released to the military amid growing concerns over the worsening security situation across the country despite huge budgetary allocations to the defence sector.
The resolution followed the adoption of motions on the escalating wave of banditry, kidnappings and attacks on communities, schools and places of worship across Nigeria, particularly in the North-West region.
