Boko Haram: Senate canvasses bomb detectors in FCT buses

The Senate Tuesday asked the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) administration to immediately make provision for the installation of bomb detectors on all mass transit buses in the FCT.
The upper chamber also mandated the FCT administration to address the issue of waste disposal and cattle rearing in the city centre.

Chairman, Senate Committee on FCT, Senator Dino Melaye, gave the charge at the inaugural meeting of his committee with the Minister of FCT, Mohammed Musa Bello in Abuja.
The mandate to install security gadgets in buses and other areas may not be unconnected with the growing security concern in the FCT.

Melaye noted that in the course of their oversight, the committee would ensure that all parks were upgraded and security gadgets installed in all locations.
