The Nigerian Senate has dissolved its standing committees on the Air Force, national security and intelligence with immediate effect.
The Senate directed chairmen of its standing committees on Army, Navy, Defence, Interior and Police Affairs to brief the Senate within one week, during a closed-door session, on their ongoing efforts to boost security across the country.
The Senate also probed the circumstances surrounding the killing of Brigadier General Uba, with the report expected within the same timeframe.
Additionally, the chamber resolved that its leadership should meet immediately with President Bola Tinubu to brief him on the resolutions reached during the security debate.
The lawmakers further agreed to undertake diplomatic engagements with the United States to address the escalating situation.
