Contrary to reports of indefinite adjournment by the National Assembly, the Senate today resumed plenary to consider some pending legislative matters, with its President, Bukola Saraki presiding.

Our correspondent gathered from a close source to the National Assembly that what was adjourned indefinitely yesterday was the Joint Session, which was held behind closed-doors for the first time in nineteen years.

Meanwhile; the Senate has advised the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, to withdraw his statement that the Anti-Grazing Law enacted by the Benue State Government was responsible for the killings in clashes between herdsmen and farmers.

The Senate also observed a moment of silence after receiving reports of fresh killing of twelve people and destruction of houses and properties in Benue and Taraba states.

Senators Emmanuel Bwacha and Banabas Gemade came under Order Forty-Two and Fifty-Two to table their reports under matters of security concerns.

Senator Bwacha said it was inhuman for the Defence Minister to have suggested that the Anti-Grazing Law was responsible for the killing, while Senator Gemade implored the Senate to demand that the comment be withdrawn.
