House Approves Extension Of State Of Emergency In 3 States
The House of Reps, On Thursday May 15th approved the extension of emergency rule in the troubled states of Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states, after a crucial closed door meeting with security chiefs.
President Jonathan had sent a letter to members of the National Assembly a few days ago requesting for extension of emergency rule in the three states. The Senate would have to agree to this too before it can be fully effected. Their own deliberation and voting will take place May 20th.
Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states have been the worst hit since the emergency of Boko Haram.
