State of Emergency Extension yet to be discussed by Senate

The Senate on Tuesday in Abuja failed to discuss the request for the extension of emergency rule in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe after a seven-hour closed door meeting with Service Chiefs.

Shortly after the meeting, the Senate President, Sen. David Mark, said the senate had a robust discussion with the service chiefs.

He added that "we discussed extensively with the service chiefs and we have noted the challenges and progress made by them in fighting insurgency''.
