The Nigerian Senate has directed two of its Committees to summon the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.
The lawmakers gave the directive during plenary on Wednesday, following a debate on a motion on the alarming rate of insecurity in the country.

The challenges, according to him, have manifested in kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery, assassination, and other nefarious activities in the country.
The lawmaker was also worried about what he described as the growing suspicion of the complicity of officials of the state, saddled with the responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of the citizens, being compromised in the process.
However, the Committees on Legislative Compliance and Communications were urged to communicate to the minister, the need to implement the resolutions of the Senate regarding security issues as they concern his ministry.
