The caucus described Olajide’s gruesome killing as another sad commentary on the horrible security situation and utter hopelessness in the country under the current administration.
The lawmakers called on the Inspector General of Police to immediately track down the murderers as well as other terrorist and criminal gangs causing havoc in various parts of the country and bring them to book.
The caucus condoled with the Sowore family and families of other victims and charged President Muhammadu Buhari to take clear steps to tackle insecurity in the country.
