Senators, on Wednesday, threatened to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari if Nigeria’s worsening security situation was not improved within six weeks.
The impeachment threat comes amid heightened tension in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) over likely terrorists’ attacks.
Since the July 5 invasion of the Kuje Correctional facility in the FCT by terrorists, during which hundreds of inmates, including high-profile criminals were freed, suburbs surrounding the nation’s seat of power has been witnessing serious security breaches
Last Sunday, army officers attached to the Presidential Guards Brigade were killed in an ambush laid by terrorists in Bwari area of the FCT.
Twenty-four hours after the incident, the management of the Federal Government College Kwali, also in the FCT, asked parents to evacuate their children from the school following an attack by bandits in a neighbouring community. Kwali had suffered bandits’ attacks at least three times last week.
The FCTA authorities and the Ministry of Education also ordered the shutdown of all schools in the nation’s capital.
