[Breaking] Borno Massacre: Reps In Rowdy Session Over Motion To Invite Buhari

The House of Representatives has been thrown into a rowdy session following attempts by the leadership to block a prayer in a motion which seeks to invite President Muhammadu Buhari to appear before the House.

The Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, had disallowed debates on the motion moved by Honourable Ahmed Santomi from Borno, calling attention to the wanton destruction of lives in the North Eastern state of Borno, forcing members to suggest only amendments to the prayers.

However, Hon. Ahmed Jaha, from Borno moved a Point of Order on Matter of Privilege, saying that the motion jointly moved by all Borno lawmakers in the House had been watered down as the prayer to invite the President for explanations on the state of security in Nigeria was no longer there.

The Point of Order degenerated into a rowdy session forcing the Speaker to dissolve the House into an executive session.
