The Nigerian Senate, on Friday drilled
the Inspection General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, over the killing of Nigerians
in Benue state by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
The Senate had, upon resumption,

the perpetrators of the heinous killings.

solutions to the menace of Fulani herdsmen killings across the country.

made by the Police, no one has been charged to court.
President Muhammadu Buhari had
written to the Senate on Wednesday, January 31, 2018, saying the Police is
“working strenuously” to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime.
But the Senate said it would not
rest on it’s oars until the killers are brought to book.
Subsequently, the Police boss
arrived Senate meeting room 221 at about 10:30am in company of some top
officers of the Force.
As at the time of filing this
