Reps, Ministers, Service Chiefs in closed door meeting

Members of the House of Representatives are currently in a closed door meeting with the ministers of defence and interior and four service chiefs over the spate of kidnappings in the country.

Also at the closed-door meeting are the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and the Director General of the Department of State Security (DSS), Lawal Daura.

The House had last Thursday summoned them, including the National Security Adviser, NSA, Maj Gen Babagana Monguno to address the lawmakers today.

The top security chiefs are expected to explain why kidnappers are having a field day, especially along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, where they abduct people on daily basis and collect millions of naira as ransom.
