President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday urged
security agencies to beef up security at the National Assembly.
Lawan stated that he had received reports of security threat
to the assembly complex.
A statement by his spokesman, Ola Awoniyi, said Lawan at an
emergency closed-door meeting the Senate leadership had with top security
officials.
Lawan noted that unknown and uninvited people “came or are
coming into the National Assembly complex and we felt we shouldn’t take this
lightly.
“From today, we have to find temporary solution to support
the security arrangement here.
”We will find a more permanent solution by the time the
entire environment is remodeled,” Lawan said.
Director General of the Department of Security Service (DSS)
and representatives of the Defence, Police, Civil Defence, Fire Service and
other security agencies attended the parley.
Lawan added that ensuring security for all Nigerians was a
responsibility for both the legislative and executive arms of government.
