The House of Representatives has summoned the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, Minister of Defence, Gen Christopher Musa and his finance counterpart, Taiwo Oyedele, for questioning over the spike in kidnappings in some parts of the country.

Specifically, the House seeks details of funds released to the Ministry of Defence over the past six months and an explanation for the perceived lack of corresponding improvements in security nationwide.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance brought on the floor of the Green Chamber by the member representing Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency of Zamfara State, Mr Sulaiman Gumi, during plenary on Tuesday.
