The Senate on Tuesday called on the Federal Government to discontinue the rehabilitation programme for ‘repentant’ Boko Haram members, citing the worsening security situation and the continued killing and abduction of serving and retired military personnel across the country.
The resolution followed the adoption of an additional prayer during plenary while lawmakers deliberated on the country's deteriorating security situation.
The prayer, moved by Senator Joseph Ikpea, who represents Edo Central Senatorial District, was adopted through a voice vote during the consideration of a motion on the escalating attacks, abductions and killings of serving and retired military personnel.
The motion was sponsored by Senator Abdulaziz Yar'Adua, representing Katsina Central and Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Nigerian Army.
