The Senate has asked security agencies to adopt proper synergy in their operations to address the insecurity in Nigeria.

The Senate also urged the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, to ensure the immediate release of funds to the military to combat insecurity.

The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, stated this after nearly 10-hour meeting with service chiefs on the state of insecurity including reported issues of kidnapping and banditry across the country.

Akpabio also noted that almost 90 percent of perpetrators of heinous crimes in parts of Abuja have been apprehended and will be prosecuted.
