The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday directed the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba to immediately call for a special investigation into the circumstances surrounding the whereabouts of the missing Abuja based Journalist Tordue Salem.
The red chamber made the call after a point of order raised by Senator Orker-Jev Emmanuel Yisa (Benue North-West) to draw the attention of the Senate to the disappearance of the reporter who covers the National Assembly.
The lawmaker said on October 13, 2021 between 8-9pm, Tordue Salem went missing and all phone contact with him ceased.
He added that efforts by his family, friends and colleagues to uncover his whereabouts or what may have happened proved abortive.
