The House of Representatives on Wednesday clarified that it did not summon the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Adeola Oluwatosin over the rising rate of crime in the capital city.

The House had on Tuesday, following the adoption of a motion by Representative Dabo Haruna on the disturbing activities of criminals popularly known as “One chance'” in the FCT mandated its joint committees on FCT, Police and National Intelligence to investigate the matter.

But reports in some section of the media on Wednesday quoted that the House summoned the FCT minister, DG DSS and the FCT Commissioner of Police.

Making clarification on Wednesday with newsmen at the National Assembly, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence, Representative Ahmed Satomi , said the House never summoned the affected officials.

“I want to correct the mistake made by most of you in the report on the motion moved yesterday on the floor of the House by Hon. Dabo Haruna concerning the killing of his Legislative aide, Miss Na’imi Sulaiman and the need to check the activities of ‘One chance’ operators in the FCT.

“The House in passing the motion only mandated the Committees on National Intelligence, Police and FCT to conduct a comprehensive investigation and liaise with the necessary stakeholders such as the FCT minister, the FCT commissioner of Police, as well as the DG DSS to ensure the culprits are brought to Justice and the problems of one chance incidence brought to a halt

” The joint committee is yet to commence legislative duty on the motion as mandated by House but I want to assure Nigerians that the joint committees will definitely get to the root of the matter and ensure that security agencies unravel and apprehend the culprits so that they will face the law “

Representative Satomi noted that the new DG of DSS, Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi is a thorough bred intelligence and security professional who recently resumes duties and is expected to bring his wealth of experience to bear in crushing the crimes and criminality in the FCT and environs .

He however appealed to newsmen to always cross check facts, so as not to misrepresent facts.
