The invitation followed the adoption of a motion on violent terror attacks on the people of Kaura Federal Constituency of Southern Kaduna by unknown gunmen.
Though the date of the appearance of the security chiefs has not been fixed, the meeting would be held behind closed doors, Speaker Yakubu Dogara said.
The lawmakers said it was high time security and intelligence agencies take responsibility for the escalation of attacks in conflict-prone areas around the country.
The lawmakers also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to deal decisively with the masterminds of the attacks, be more proactive in identifying the exact areas of the attacks and carry out a comprehensive security mapping to identify the base of the attackers in order to combat the menace.
Mover of the motion, Gideon Gwani (APC, Kaduna) noted with grief the violent terror attacks of 6th – 9th January 2017 at Tachirak, Adu and Tsonje villages of Kagoro town in Kaura Federal constituency of Southern Kaduna which led to the death of 13 people.
He, however, regretted that despite the 24 hours curfew imposed in the area and the presence of men of the Armed Forces and the Police, gunmen continued to attack villages and unleash mayhem, while the security personnel deployed remained in the township.
During the debate, lawmakers wondered why it was impossible for security agencies to identify masterminds and perpetrators of crises in Southern Kaduna that began in the early 1980s.
They said the intelligence community has failed in identifying the perpetrators and preventing the breakout of hostilities as they are more visible running errands rather than performing their primary responsibility of covert gathering information.
While noting that there have always been reports and recommendations by Committees set up by governments to investigate each attack, the lawmakers regretted that none has been implemented citing Gen Martin Luther Agwai-led Committee that probed one of the crises in Southern Kaduna.
The lawmakers urged Nigerians to support the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government to find a lasting solution to the crisis rather than condemn it considering the fact that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government failed to nab the mastermind of the crisis in its 16 years rule.
The Speaker, Yakubu Dogara assured that the government is not relenting in efforts to find an enduring solution to the Southern Kaduna crisis.
“I have the opportunity of discussing the issue with Mr President and he assured that steps with a lasting solution are being taken and will soon begin to manifest.
“It is also our duty to support and monitor those steps and if they are not working, it is our responsibility to also do something about it,” Dogara said.
While the Federal government was urged to provide relief material to victims of the attack, Committees on Army, Airforce, Police Affairs, Interior and National Security and Intelligence were mandated to analyse the situation and proffer solutions to the security challenges in the area and report back to the House within four weeks for further legislative action.
