The House of Representatives has for the umpteenth time, called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency on security nationwide in line with an earlier resolution of the House.
This call is coming barely a week after the House made resolutions, part of which requested President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently declare a state of emergency on the security sector so as to effectively tackle the menace.
Making a similar resolution on Thursday at plenary, the House further called on the Federal Government to urgently reorganise the security architecture to properly accommodate and fast-track the creation of state police.

Moving the motion, Chidoka said the police station at Obosi town in Idemili North and South Federal Constituency was attacked in the morning by unknown persons killing two police inspectors and carting away arms and ammunition from the armoury of the police station.
