Senate president, Ahmed Lawan has warned security agencies and the judiciary that captured terrorists and persons suspected of illegal oil bunkering must not escape justice.
Lawan gave the charge when the leadership of the upper chamber hosted service chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police and heads of other security agencies.
The meeting was a follow up to a similar one held early in August, 2022.
While insisting that captured terrorists and oil thieves must not escape justice, Senator Lawan, who argued that the prevailing security situation does not augur well for the country, also stated that security agencies must ensure that nobody is above the laws of the land.
“You will recall that about four weeks ago, we had a meeting here and that meeting was to look into the security situation in the country then.
“Before we closed for our annual summer recess, distinguished senators and indeed, members of the National Assembly, expressed so much concerns with respect to the security situation prevailing and we felt we must engage our security agencies so that together, we will continue to fight these challenges in our country.
“I am happy and I’m sure I’m speaking the minds of my colleagues, that after that meeting, till today, we have seen remarkable difference in the fight against insecurity in our country by our Armed Forces and other security agencies and we are very proud of that.
