“We commended the Security Chiefs and particularly point out that the Interior Minister should use a unified system of identification, that will be a better thing for Nigerians. “

The Senate equally passed vote of confidence in the Service Chiefs.

He said:”For the security chiefs, we assure you of not just the support of Senate but the National Assembly. We passed  vote of confidence in the Service Chiefs.”

Also speaking with journalists, Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, offered further insight into the discussions at the Executive session.

”Today, we listened to them, we related with them, they allayed our fears and answer our questions satisfactorily.

We  asked questions from Interior Minister on how to apprehend criminals through standardization of identities of Nigerians

“We got assurances of border patrols that they must be manned seriously.

The Finance Minister assured that funds will be released expeditiously to Service Chiefs. We got that pledge.

“We even suggested inviting the Minister of Justice so that we can get speedy trials  of criminals. With what we heard today,we got assurances that  Nigerians will heave a sigh of relief.”

Senator Adaramodu justified the vote of confidence passed in Service Chiefs as he maintained that the Red Chamber is impressed with their determination and proactive measures in recent times.

He said:” Yes, we passed vote of confidence,  we are impressed with what they have been doing so far. Look at that of Bwari, suspects  have been apprehended, and look at what they are doing in Ekiti and Plateau states. The problem is that the attacks happen sporadically. “
