The Senate has condemned the killing of Mrs. Bridget Agbahime in Kano State, even as it urged the Federal Government to ensure that the perpetrators were properly prosecuted in line with the laws of the country.
Senator Samuel Anyanwu (Imo East) drew the attention of the Senate to the murder. He noted that government at all levels must ensure the protection of lives and property of Nigerians.
Senator Anyanwu condemned the killing and prayed the Senate to do same. He thanked the Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, and the Commissioner of Police for taking immediate actions leading to the some arrests, but insisted that the culprits be prosecuted duly.
His words: “I think it should go beyond arrests. We do not want a situation where someone is being detained today and after some time, we do not hear about the matter again. The worst thing that could happen to a man is for his wife to be killed right before him.
“I think this Senate should rise and condemn this act, we are one Nigeria; we all believe in one Nigeria and we want to respect our religious affiliations. This country must be united; you would agree with me that the Igbo are the most liberalised people because we believe in one Nigeria, we live in every part of Nigeria. So I feel bad with the way we are being treated and I think this Senate should rise and ask the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, to ensure that the culprits are brought to book.”
