The senate on Wednesday summoned the Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris in connection with the situation in Benue State where herdsmen have continued to kill people.

Idris is expected to appear before the Senate Committee on Police on Thursday wjile the Committee reports yo the Semate on Tuesday next week, according to the Semate President Bukola Saraki.

The Senators are worried that Idris has mot done enough to stem the killings in Benue despite the resolution they passed recently giving him two weeks to apprehend the suspects and prosecute them.

It was on a day President Muhammadu Buhari wrote the Senate and rejected insinuation that nothing had been done to check the ongoing killings.

Buhari said apart from directing the Police boss to relocate to Benue he had severally urged him to apprehend the killers and bring the to justice which he said the police are currently on.
