The Senate has mandated its Committees on Legislative Compliance and Communications to invite the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, to impress on him the need to implement its resolutions regarding security.

The decision was reached in a resolution that followed the consideration of a motion on the spate of growing insecurity in the country.
Rising under Order 42 and 52 of the Senate Rules, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP-Taraba South), noted that the rate of insecurity in the country had not only increased astronomically, but has also reached a melting point.
He pointed out that security was being taken for granted, even as criminals negotiate successfully using telephones.
According to him, the security challenge has manifested in kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery, assassination and other criminal activities in the country.
He said: “The assassination of Nasarawa State APC Chairman and other high profile cases are still fresh in our memories.
“A Chinese national was recently abducted in my community. His whereabouts is still unknown.
“There is growing suspicion of the complicity of officials of state saddled with the responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of the citizens, but compromised in the process.
“This is heightened by the arrest of several security operatives involved in armed robbery and kidnapping activities across the country.
“It is only in Nigeria that communication facilities can be used without a biometric process; no valid identification of passport details (in the case of foreigners) in place to check abuse.
“Bandits, terrorists negotiate for ransom using telephones and getting away with it. How can we be so negligent and insensitive to the safety and security of citizens?
“Senate is concerned that the confidence between the protected and the protector is being increasingly eroded resulting to the breakdown of law and order as demonstrated in the #EndSARS protest, which was subsequently hijacked by miscreants.
“Further notes that political permutations across the landscape is attracting politicians to recruit criminals for the purpose of destabilising the corporate existence of Nigeria.
“These evil intents can be easily achieved given the poor control over communication facilities viz the inability of our security apparatus and service providers to effectively manage this all-important sector.”
