The Senate on Wednesday convened a private meeting with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, and the Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igwe.

This meeting was prompted by summons issued by the Senate two weeks prior, requesting their briefing on security matters within the FCT, following a recent kidnap incident at the Galadima area of the Abuja metropolis.

The Senate had reached this decision following a motion put forward by Senator Nwoko, Ned Munir, representing Delta North. Senator Nwoko emphasized the urgent necessity of bolstering security measures within the FCT.

Wike and the Police Commissioner are expected to give insights as regards security modalities within the Federal Capital.

Further details regarding the outcome of the meeting, are expected within the coming hours.
