The Senate has raised an ad hoc committee to investigate claims that Cameroon has illegally annexed Nigeria’s mangrove islands and maritime territories.
The committee is tasked with submitting a report within two months, outlining recommendations on how to resolve the issue.
The Senate also called on President Bola Tinubu to take immediate action to safeguard Nigeria’s territorial waters and secure the country’s oil assets—more than 2,560 oil wells—located within the disputed mangrove islands in Akwa Ibom State.
