The motion was sponsored by Senator Uche Ekwunife during plenary.
She raised concerns about the uncertainty of whether or not 5G has been launched in Nigeria.
She further raised concerns by some scientists and medical experts that the emissions from the 5G towers could adversely affect the health of citizens by causing symptoms like damage to eyes, antibiotics resistance, and other physiological effects on the nervous and immune system.
The senators, therefore, mandated its committees on Communication, Public Health, Science, and Technology to carry out the investigation and report back within four weeks.
