The Speaker, Dr. Ali Ahmad while ruling on matter of urgent public importance said the House though not dwelling on issues on the exclusive legislative list, but said the House had constitutional power and jurisdiction to direct if the activities of the Federal Agency affect the well-being of the people residing where such Federal Agency was situated.

The House according to the Speaker equally referred the other prayers of the legislator to the House Committee on Ethics, Privileges, Public Petitions and Judiciary for further consultations with other security agencies and to submit report within two weeks.

The lawmaker had among other things called for the relocation of Federal Prison in the heart of Ilorin to its permanent site in Mandala due to harassment and intimidation of innocent citizens by security personnel at the Oke-Kura Prison along Pakata road.
