The Nigerian Senate and House of Reps have summoned Chief of Army Staff, Mr. Tukur Buratai over a clash with Shiite Muslims in Zaria which led to the death of over 60 people.

The Director General of the Department of State Services, Lawan Daura, and “heads of other security agencies,” would be summoned by a House joint Committee on Army/National Security/Intelligence and Public Safety.

Also to appear before the House are the top leaders of the Islamic Movement, “as well as other stakeholders as the House may deem fit to discuss the issue.”

“The Chief of Army Staff will have to come and testify before the committee as an important stakeholder. The committee has the mandate of the House to invite him. The DG, as well as the DSS too, is relevant to this investigation. It will involve heads of other security agencies since the committee will be looking at the security implications or otherwise of the clash. The leaders of the Islamic Movement will also have to come and state their side of the matter before the committee can reach any reasonable conclusions," a National Assembly official said.

That is a welcome development

Noted

Why are we always hearing bogus figures on number of people killed in the North. Yet during election, the people go appear from their graves and be giving us Kano votes.

Well the senate has finally woken up since the presidency is still sleeping. Lets just hope the truth will come out at the senate hearing.

You don't have to book space @ this hour.

And what will be its outcome at the end of the day? Inconclusive as usual

What is a human life worth in this country?,
An american soldier kills a surrendering Taliban fighter(an enemy combatant) and he is sent to jail,
A Nigerian soldier kills a dozen Biafra activists,
And it doesn't even get a mention by the President talk less of the Soldier going to jail,
Soldiers kill over 300 Shittes,
And the chief of staff is summoned by a senate panel that will ask him a few questions and tell him to take a bow,
This country is a joke

good.

Instead of these people to face their work they are summoning someone that is doing his own work
these days all they do is deliberate on what kind of exotic car to pick as official cars and how many to get
leave burutai alone ooo
he is doing his job, do yours!

Your leaders brought boko haram upon yourselves. They did nothing when they killed christians but started shouting when the tables turned. Go home and educate yur people so they wont easily be recruited into a bloody and useless cult.

Tell me who the boko haram attacked in their first attack. For your information they started in Maiduguri and their first suicide attack was done in Abuja. You guys are twisting it to make it seem the Boko haram attacked only christians at first

in a civilized country dis guy wd v resigned since n prosecuted.

Okay

4ny pple blockin fed high ways 4 no reason and causin mayhem!

Nothing will come out of it besides he was acting by the orders given by my Sai Buhari.

The Senate should make sure Buratai leaves his escorts and convoy behind ooh..... Or else ! 2morrow's headlines gonna be

"coas Lieut. General Tukur Buratai's convoy annihilates the National assembly for shouting at him"












Post No Bill...........

As usual, the summons will always amount to nothing. The senate is just trying to let people know that they're working, when there are better ways of letting people know they're really working.

wasting of tax payers money, sitting and talking jargon.. senate

As usual, he will come with edited video tailored to represent the best interests of the army and highlight the shia as aggressors after which a vote of those in support of the massacre will win---- A beauty of democracy where a foolish majority will always have their way.

Until all this structures deliberately put up exploited and abused by the elite against the masses are pulled down and done with the masses will forever be at the receiving end. To the streets I say.

Powerful

Summoned and wat next

This is bread and butter summons...

Thats the only thing this useless senate can do. Summon

nigeria is in a mess. the military is beginning to instill fear in the minds of nigerians.

buhari should know that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

once bitten twice shy.

a word is enough for the wise
