Also at the plenary, the house read a resolution urging Governor Soludo to appeal to the Commissioner of Police in the state to return checkpoints and patrol teams across the state.
The house resolution followed a motion raised by Onyebuchi Offor, representing Ekwusigo Constituency (PDP).
According to Mr. Offor, the absence of checkpoints in the state has increased insecurity which is causing serious threats to lives and property in the state
