House of Reps approves extension of Emergency rule in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa

President Jonathan had sent a letter to members of the National Assembly a few days ago requesting for extension of emergency rule in the three states. 

The Senate would have to agree to this too before it can be fully effected. Their own deliberation and voting will take place May 20th. Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states have been the worst hit since the emergency of Boko Haram.
