The upper legislative chamber equally urged local and state governments to rise up to their responsibilities by ensuring the safety of lives and properties under their jurisdictions.
These are some of the resolutions reached after a brief debate on a motion presented on the floor by Kogi West Senator, Sunday Karimi on Thursday.
In his lead debate, Senator Karimi expressed shock at the audacity of the criminal elements to have kidnapped the Obalohun of Ololoke from his palace in Yegba Local Government Area of Kogi State.
