Reps Summon Service Chiefs, Ribadu Over Rising Insecurity
  • PublishedJune 9, 2026

The House of Representatives has summoned Nigeria’s service chiefs and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, to appear before lawmakers over the worsening security situation across the country.

The resolution was reached during plenary on Tuesday following the adoption of a motion sponsored by Sulaiman Gumi, who represents Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency in Zamfara State.

The House expressed concern over the rising wave of insecurity, including killings and abductions by bandits and terrorists in several parts of the country.

The lawmakers’ decision comes amid growing public concern over the persistent attacks and renewed calls for President Bola Tinubu to reshuffle the nation’s security leadership and appoint more effective personnel to tackle the crisis.
