The senate has resolved to suspend plenary for two days next week to hold a national conference on security. The national security summit will hold on Wednesday and Thursday.
The lawmakers had on Tuesday decided to hold a conference after they had approved a report of an ad hoc committee on security that visited Benue state over the killings perpetrated by herdsmen. But no date was fixed for the meeting until Lau moved his motion.
The report by the committee noted that the proliferation of arms in the country worsened the clash between the herders and farmers. It said in most of the affected areas in Benue, there is little or no presence of security agencies.
The senate urges the security and intelligence agencies to leave no stone unturned in apprehending the perpetrators of these heinous crimes so they are brought before the law to answer for their crimes.
