Just In: Reps meet Ameachi, Defence Chief, others over train attack
The House of Representatives is presently in a closed-door meeting with the Chief of Defence Staff, Lucky Irabor and the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, over attacks on transportation infrastructures in Kaduna.
Other officials present at the meeting, which began at 3 p.m. are the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali, the Director-General of the State Security Service, Yusuf Bichi, Minister of Aviation, and Hadi Sirika, among others.
The House had required the leaders of the House to investigate the attacks on transportation infrastructure following a motion moved by Nnaji Nnolim (PDP, Enugu).
Mr Nnolim initiated the motion on the attack on the Kaduna Airport by bandits, which led to the death of one guard. The motion was modified to include the attack on the Kaduna-bound train by terrorists on Monday last week.
Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila said, before joining the executive session, that the House is hoping to explore other possibilities to end insecurity in Nigeria.
