IG Solomon Arase,
The Senate Thursday summoned the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Solomon Arase, over the incessant spate of kidnaps in different parts of the country.
The upper chamber condemned the menace in strong terms and commiserated with those who had lost their loved ones to the incident.
The parliament which also resolved to make frantic efforts to review the extant laws on kidnapping with the intention to impose stiffer penalties on culprits, urged traditional institutions, religious authorities and all Nigerians to be more vigilant and participate more actively in the security challenges facing Nigeria.
The resolution was the aftermath of a motion moved by Senator Andy Uba (Anambra South) who drew the attention of the Senate to this prevalent crime in Nigeria, regretting that the crime has assumed dangerous dimensions and spreading to virtually all parts of the country.
More to come
