It would be recalled that President Olusegun Obasanjo had made this call in an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday.
The Senate on Tuesday called on the federal government to immediately convene a National Security Summit to address the insecurity ravaging the country.
The call followed a point of order raised by Sen. Ayo Akinyelure (APC-Ondo), over the killing of one his constituents, Mrs Funke Olakunrin.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olakunrin, daughter of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, a leader of the Afenifere Group, was shot dead by gunmen along the Akure-Ore in Ondo State on Friday.
Akinyelure expressed concern over the killing and similar ones, which he described as “increasing and incessant murder of innocent Nigerians by gunmen along major highways in the country.”
He also cautioned that if immediate actions were not taken, the development might lead to ethno-religious crisis, especially in the Southern part of the country.
While urging the Senate to observe a minute silence in memory of the deceased and others who died in similar circumstances, he said the attention of the Federal Government should be drawn to the situation.
Also, Sen. Tolu Odebiyi (APC-Ogun) called on the Senate as an institution to sit down with the presidency and the security formations in a meeting to take immediate action.
“We have to demand for an action by security forces and the presidency.
“There’s nothing we do here that is safe if we don’t get our security right.
