Nigeria’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami has instructed the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed to provide security for the 17 newly sworn-in lawmakers in Edo State.

The Minister’s directive follows a petition to his office by Idahosa-West Chambers over the recent political developments in Edo State.

Malami noted in his directive to the Police boss in a letter dated August 5, 2020 that the step became necessary to avert a break down of law and order in the state.
