The House of Representatives has passed a resolution to invite President Muhammadu Buhari to brief the house on the true state of the security situation in the country.

The House was considering a motion moved by members from Borno State on the recent massacre of 43 rice farmers in the state by Boko Haram insurgents.

The House Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila appealed that it would be inappropriate to invite the President to disclose the actions being taken towards handling the security situation in the country.

However, efforts by the Speaker, the Majority Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa and Chairman, House Committee on Air Force, Shehu Koko, among others, to have the prayer dropped proved abortive.

No date was however announced for the invitation.
