***Commends Tinubu, Service Chiefs, other Security Agencies on Resucue of School Children
*** Urges FG to ensure the prompt payment of all statutory death benefits, insurance claims, pensions and other welfare entitlements to the families of the fallen heroes.

The Senate has taken a swipe at Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over his call for a United Nations-led probe into the abduction of pupils and teachers in the Oriire Local Government Area of the state, asking the governor to stop trivialising a very serious and traumatic matter.
Recall that Makinde, on Monday in a statewide broadcast hours after the Nigerian military formally handed over the rescued pupils and teachers to the state government following their release after spending 56 days in captivity, called on the United Nations and other international human rights and accountability bodies to examine the circumstances surrounding the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area.
