The Upper Chamber also commended the “judiciary for the recent judgement of the Federal High Court declaring all bandits and all other insurgents as terrorists which has now empowered the military to take appropriate actions against them.”

The house observed a minute silence in honor of victims who lost their lives at Ta’egbe and Durbi communities and those who were killed at the Jos Correctional Centre.
