Lawan Lists 9th Assembly Achievements Amid Tussle For 10th NASS Leadership

The Nigeria Senate has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately address Nigerians on the ongoing #EndSARS protest rocking most parts of the country.

The Senate gave the directive during its plenary on Tuesday.

The lawmakers also ordered the Nigeria police to protect all #EndSARS protesters to prevent hoodlums from hijacking their genuine action.

While urging #EndSARS protesters to halt their march to enable the federal government meet their demands, the Senate asks President Buhari to set up a judicial panel of enquiry made up of eminent Nigerians that would be respected by the youths to identify the notorious SARS operatives and ensure their arrest and prosecution.

Recall that the Senate had earlier gone into an emergency closed-door session over what is believed to be related to the ongoing #EndSARS protests across the country.

The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan on Tuesday, as soon as the lawmakers settled down for plenary, called for an emergency session, prompting the legislators to go into a closed-door session.
