The leadership of the House of Representatives met with the heads of security agencies in the country behind closed doors.
The meeting, which was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase began at about 2:15 pm.
Journalists and others were sent out of the venue as the meeting was about to begin.
The Defence Headquarters, Nigerian Army, Nigeria Air Force, Nigerian Navy, Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigerian Correctional Service, among others, were represented by top officers.
The House had on October 20, 2020, considered and adopted a motion on #EndSARS, calling on President Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to “issue an Executive Order to address some of the broader issues on police brutality.”
In the motion titled ‘Need to Address the Possible Breach of National Security under the Peaceful Protests Across the Country’, the House had also appealed to protesters to have faith in the National Assembly and the Executive, “in our collective efforts towards finding a lasting solution to the lingering issues of general police misconduct.”
