The House of Representatives Wednesday decried the growing wave of insecurity in the country and expressed fears that the National Assembly might not be safe; given the rate of attacks on security formations in recent days.
The lawmakers said the serial attacks on the military church at the Command and Staff College, Jaji last Sunday and the raid on the headquarters of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), Abuja less than 24 hours later had raised a lot of questions about the readiness of the security agencies to defend public places and institutions.
The National Assembly Complex has remained under a security cordon since the October 1, 2010 bomb blast near the Eagle Square, Central Area of Abuja.
The lawmakers, in a motion of urgent national importance, said the insecurity had gotten to a level where no public facility could be considered safe any longer.
The debate on national security concerns was sequel to a motion brought to the floor by Hon. Abubakar Momoh, representing Estako Federal Constituency of Edo State.
Momoh had in his motion drawn the attention of the House to the recent armed robbery incident at Auchi, Edo State.
Daredevil armed robbers had stormed the town, raided banks and police stations, leaving behind sorrow, tears and blood.
The consensus of opinion among the legislators was that the level of insecurity in the country had reached an embarrassing peak that the parliament cannot afford to ignore.
They argued that if the terrorists attack security institutions with so much ease and precision, they could one day invade the National Assembly.
In his contribution to the debate, Minority Whip of the House, Hon Samson Osagie, urged the Federal Government to explore and deploy new strategies in combating terrorism and other security challenges in the country.
The parliament, Osagie said, cannot afford to fold its arms and watch citizens being killed and maimed every day.
He said that emphasis must be placed on intelligence gathering, counter-terrorism training and procurement of modern communication gadgets and sophisticated firearms for security personnel.

Kasbah — Indian Minister of External Affairs, on Monday, welcomed the peaceful transfer of power in Tunisia and the ratification of a new constitution enshrining democratic principles and human rights.
He told the media after his meeting with interim Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa that "Tunisia has shown to the entire world that its people were able to peacefully defend the principles of freedoms and democracy, away from any form of violence."
"Tunisia has proved that it is possible for various ideological currents to co-exist and overcome together a delicate transition stage," he added.
He congratulated the government and people of Tunisia on the major steps taken towards the completion of the transition period and restoring stability.
Kurshid said he had discussed with Mehdi Jomaa ways to boost bilateral economic co-operation and reviewed regional and international issues of mutual interest.
He expressed his country's willingness to initiate a new phase of economic partnership with Tunisia.
The Indian minister also stated that significant opportunities for economic co-operation are available to both countries. He cited, in particular, pharmaceutical industries, agriculture, automotive components, tourism and textiles and clothing.
India is the largest phosphate and chemical fertiliser customer of Tunisia.
In July 2013, a Tunisia-India phosphate acid plant was set up in Skhira, with investments of 750 million dinars.
The plant, which employs about 500 persons, has a production capacity of 360,000 tons of phosphoric acid per year, totally intended for export to India.
Tunisia imports from India, in particular, mobile telephones, earth-moving equipment, iron, steel, sugar and tea.
Salman Kurshid's visit to Tunisia is part of a tour in the region (Morocco and Sudan).
India is seeking international support for a seat in the UN Security Council.

- Check the type of experience most employers in your field of interest expect. Don't overlook the part time work you may be currently doing. Most employers understand that the skills are transferrable even if the work is not in their industry.
- Check your academic program for any courses that involve a placement or the opportunity to undertake an industry based project.
- Check your school for Summer Scholarships for research opportunities.
- Check vacancy sites for advertised traineeships, part time employment and vacation work opportunities in your field.
- Source and approach organisations directly about possible work shadowing or information interview opportunities.
- Source and approach organisations directly for paid work opportunities.
- Consider volunteering.
Note: Gaining experience may be important but not at the expense of your studies. Make sure you do not overload your timetable with unrealistic work commitments.

An Osogbo Senior Magistrates' Court on Wednesday remanded in prison one Kehinde Ajibade for riding a motorcycle on the highway without safety helmet.
The prosecutor, Insp. Solomon Oladele, also alleged that the accused on Monday at about 3:30 pm at Igbona Market rode an unregistered motorcycle on the highway without drivers' licence.
Oladele told the court that the offences contravened Section 4 and was punishable under Section 25 (1) (i) of the State Road Traffic (Amendment ) Law, 2008.
The accused, who was not represented by a counsel, pleaded guilty to the charge brought against him.
Senior Magistrate Olusola Aluko ordered the accused to be remanded in Ilesa prison till Aug. 23 to get the facts of the case.
Similarly, a 20-year-old, Charles Oyejide, was also arraigned before Aluko for assault and breach of public peace.
The accused allegedly committed the offence on July 14 around 1:00 pm at Kasmo area of Oke-Baale, Osogbo.
Oyejide was alleged to have assaulted one Kazeem Olabiyi by hitting him in the eyes, an act which contravened the State Penal Code.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The defence counsel, Mr Nurudeen Sanusi, pleaded for bail of his client on liberal terms, promising that the accused would provide a credible surety.
Aluko upheld the plea by granting the accused bail in the sum of N20,000 with one surety in like sum.
He added that the surety should provide two passport photographs, swear to an affidavit of means and show evidence of tax payment.
Aluko adjourned the case to Aug. 7 for hearing.
