The Senate has called for immediate convocation of a National Security Summit to address high level insecurity in the country.

This followed a point of order raised by Ondo state Senator AYO AKINYELURE over the killing of Mrs. FUNKE OLAKUNRIN.

The daughter of Pa REUBEN FASORANTI, a leader of the Afenifere, was shot dead by gunmen along Akure-Ore Road in Ondo State on Friday.

AKINYELURE expressed concern over the killing and similar ones, which he described as “increasing and incessant murder of innocent Nigerians by gunmen along major highways in the country.”

Also adding his voice to the debate, Senator TOLU ODEBIYI called on the Senate to liaise with the presidency and security formations and take immediate action on insecurity ravaging parts of the country.
