Reps fume as service chiefs shun security meeting

The House of Representatives has berated heads of security agencies for failing to attend a meeting called by the parliament on the security crises across the country.

The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, who was visibly angry by their non-appearance, said it showed the service chiefs had a disdain for the lawmakers and showed their unseriousness about insecurity in the country.
