The House of Representatives has called on President Bola Tinubu to come up with comprehensive and aggressive security strategy to flush out bandits, terrorists and kidnappers from their hideouts in Nigeria.
The lawmakers said the service chiefs should step down if the administration fails to curb insecurity and regain public trust within a defined timeframe.
The lawmakers declared that if the administration proves unable to halt the worsening security situation and restore public confidence within a clearly defined timeframe, the service chiefs should “honourably resign from office.”
The call followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance moved by Rep. Ibe Osonwa, who represents Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency of Abia, during plenary on Tuesday.
The motion is titled, “A Call for Immediate Executive Action on the Surge in Banditry, the Daily Abduction of Schoolchildren and the Perilous Security Situation in Nigerian Schools and Places of Worship.”
