state of emergency was imposed before commencing debates on the request by
President Goodluck Jonathan for extension of the emergency rule.

to appear before the senate are the National Security Adviser, Minister of

sought the approval of the Senate to extend the state of emergency imposed on
the three states of North East, alleging that the security situation in the

stepped down in the order paper till another legislative session.
