On a motion by Amobi Ogah (LP, Abia), the House of Representatives resolved to set up an ad hoc committee to investigate the US$460 million loan from China Exim Bank, drawn from a US$600 million facility, for closed-circuit television cameras in Abuja, under a 2010 agreement with ZTE signed in Beijing by a delegation led by the then Minister of Finance, Olusegun Aganga. The motion said the country was still servicing the loan although the project had made no impact on crime.
