“Recent developments in some parts of the country concerning civil liberties and the safety of lives and properties of citizens are a matter for serious concern.
“The two incidences in Rivers State, the one in Ogun State and the other in Borno State, bear all the trappings of impunity which must be eschewed at all cost if we hope to continue to deepen our democracy."The House took the decision during a session after unanimously adopting a motion by Hon. Aliyu Madaki (APC-Kano). Madaki, who raised his motion under Matters of Urgent National Importance, asked the House to issue a two-week ultimatum to the President to sack the police chief and his commissioner.
He said with the alleged growing impunity of the commissioner and the curious silence of the IG, it was clear that they were taking sides with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against the government of Rivers State headed by Rotimi Amaechi.
