“The President must be held accountable for the actions of his appointees and must be ready to sanction those that carry out any act which will ridicule or endanger our country and democracy,” they said in the resolution read by Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

The National Assembly also said it stood by its resolution of vote of no confidence on Inspector General of Police IGP.

“We also hereby reaffirm our earlier resolution on the vote of no confidence on the Inspector General of Police, who does nothing but preside over innocent Nigerians with an outright disregard for the constitutional authority of both the executive and the legislature,” Saraki said.

Both chamber also gave marching orders to security agencies to protect Nigerians and curtail incessant killings by gunmen, Channels tv reports.

“The Security Agencies must be given marching orders to curtail the sustained killings of Nigerians across the country and protect life and properties of Nigerians as this is the primary duty of any responsible Government.”
