The Senate has summoned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and the Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igwe over the spate of kidnapping in the region.

This comes in the wake of the murder of Chris Agidy, an aide to Senator Ned Nwoko, by some kidnappers.

Agidy was reportedly kidnapped along with 19 others in the Galadimawa area of Abuja in November 2023.

Following an exhaustive debate on the motion sponsored by Senator Nwoko, the Senate also resolved that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, should urgently increase security patrols and surveillance within Abuja and across the nation as a proactive measure against kidnappings.
