Nigeria’s House of Representatives on Tuesday demanded speedy justice over the murder of the late Chalya Silas, a Youth Corps member who was killed in Kaduna.
This is following a motion by a member representing the Lantang Federal Constituency, Beni Lar, urging the Inspector General of Police to ensure the speedy delivery of justice on the matter.
Lar further expressed concern over the safety and security of the girl child, noting that if nothing is done to stop the continuous attacks, rape, and murder of young girls and women, it would render the country unsafe to live in.

The House immediately mandated the Committee on Youth Development, to review the safety of Corps members, as they fulfil their one-year compulsory National Youth Service Corps assignments, reach out to the family, and collaborate with the police, as they investigate the killers of the Corps member.
Chalya Silas, a National Youth Service Corps member deployed to Kaduna State, was brutally murdered while jogging in Barnawa, Kaduna South Local Government Area.
