Nigeria’s Senate has been forced into a closed-door meeting after Senators move to suspend the screening of ministerial nominee, Festus Keyamo.

Due to his disobedience to summons by the Senate and House of Representatives in the past, most of the Senators asked that Keyamo should not be confirmed.

The closed-door meeting is to deliberate on the issue, to come to a resolve. 

The Senate will resume later Monday after they have come to a conclusion on the matter.
