Security Chiefs in Nigeria led by the Chief of Defence Staff on Thursday, November 16, shunned invitation from the House of Representatives to appear before it to engage in sectoral debate on issues of national importance.
The House had scheduled to commence sectoral debate with issues of the security situation in the country on Thursday.
