The Senate is set to investigate the incarceration of over 250 Nigerians in Ethiopia.

The Minority Leader, Senator Simon Mwadkwon, brought the issue to the notice of his colleagues at Wednesday’s plenary session, and the Upper Chamber decided to look into it.

As a result, the Senate instructed its Diaspora and Foreign Affairs Committees to engage with the Federal Government to quickly form a committee that would travel to the Republic of Ethiopia and look into what is happening to Nigerians there.

Senator Abdul Ningi, a federal lawmaker who participated in the discussion, stated that the Upper Chamber should look into the subject to determine the actual circumstances behind the imprisoned Nigerians in Ethiopia.
