Tension Erupts at Senate During Nigeria Police Budget Defense

A tense situation unfolded at the Senate on Thursday morning, January 16, during the 2025 budget defense of the Nigeria Police Force.

The presentation quickly spiraled into chaos when two lawmakers raised concerns over discrepancies between the documents they had received and the presentation by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).

The committee chairman’s attempt to allow the IGP to continue while the issue was yet to be resolved met strong resistance, leading to a heated shouting session.

This forced a principal officer in the 10th Senate, Senator Onyekachi Nwoebonyi from Ebonyi North, to storm out of the Joint Committee exercise.

The senator’s action disappointed many lawmakers, particularly members of the House of Representatives, who jeered at him as he angrily walked out of the session.
