The House of Reps, today May 15th approved the extension of
emergency rule in the troubled states of Adamawa, Yobe and
Borno states, after a crucial closed door meeting with security
chiefs.
President Jonathan had sent a letter to members of the National
Assembly a few days ago requesting for extension of
emergency rule in the three states.
The Senate would have to agree to this too before it can be
fully effected. Their own deliberation and voting will take
place May 20th. Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states have been
the worst hit since the emergency of Boko Haram.
