The House of Representatives has urged the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Oluwatosin Ajayi, to take immediate action to find and prosecute those responsible for the recent killing of seven Nigerians in Ifite-Awka, Anambra State. This incident occurred near Nnamdi Azikiwe University when armed attackers, suspected to be cultists, opened fire on individuals, causing chaos.
The call for justice was raised as a matter of public importance by Yusuf Gagdi, a representative from Plateau State, who noted that all seven victims hailed from Kanam Local Government Area. Gagdi emphasized that the victims were peaceful citizens working as motorcycle riders near the university gate.
The Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, endorsed the motion, urging the police and DSS to promptly investigate the case to prevent further tension and ensure justice.
