The Senate has set up an ad-hoc committee to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the recent bloody clash that occurred between the Nigerian Army and the Shiitte Muslim sect on Saturday in Zaria.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, announced this after a one hour closed-door session.

He said the committee has now been saddled with the responsibilities of investigating the attacks and will advice the Federal Government on the way forward.
