Service chiefs, on Wednesday, appeared before the Senate Joint Committee comprising Army, Navy, Defence and Airforce committees over the investigation of the killing of 17 soldiers in Delta State community.

Given the sensitivity of the matter, the Chairman of the joint committee, Ahmed Lawan, disclosed that the investigative hearing will be held behind closed doors.
