The House of Representatives has demanded
that President Muhammadu Buhari reopen
investigations into unresolved cases of high
profile political and extra judicial killings in
Nigeria.
According to Premium Times, the essence of
the charge to the Federal Government, the
House resolved, is to bring the culprits to
justice.
This demand was raised in a motion titled,
‘Need To Undertake Further Investigations
Into Cases Of Extra Judicial Killings And Other
High Profile Murders’.
This motion was raised by Kingsley Chinda, he
noted that the extra judicial killings were
allegedly being carried out by men of the
Nigerian Police Force, and personnel of some
other security agencies and unknown gunmen.
Chinda, while charging the Nigerian Police
Force to be more alive to its responsibilities in
the prevention and proper investigation, the
lawmaker also expressed fears that the
efforts of previous governments in curbing the
problem of extra judicial and other high profile
killings have largely been futile and short of
peoples’ expectations as some have continued
unabated and as a result, people now live in
fear and despair.
Chinda enunciated on the issue, stating that
several cases of extra judicial and unsolved
killings in the country included some traders
at Apo (popularly known as Apo Six), invasion
by mobile policemen and armed soldiers of
Ogoni land, the invasion of Odi community in
Bayelsa, the killings of Dele Giwa, Alfred
Rewane, Bola Ige and Funso Williams amongst
others.
The Premium Time report states that the
motion was unanimously agreed on by the
House, and was referred to the Committees
on Police Affairs, Public Safety and National
Security (when constituted) by the Speaker,
Yakubu Dogara, to monitor the investigations
of the cases and present an interim report to
the House within four weeks for further
legislative action.
In some other development, President
Muhammadu Buhari, on July 29, Wednesday,
vowed to abide to the International Court of
Justice (ICJ) ruling ceding the oil-rich Bakassi
peninsula to Cameroon.
Femi Adesina, the presidential aide, revealed
Buhari’s position on his Twitter handle.
Adesina also hinted that the president has
promised to get all Internally Displaced
Persons in Nigeria and those who are
refugees in Cameroon back to their homes.

Ah Gist!

stories every day. I think this govt is playing a psychological game with illiterate nigerians. always bihari would do this, buhari would probe snake market, bihari set to fly to Jupiter, buhari visits Afghanistan. all this is to reduce the pressure the nigerian people put on the govt and to configure the mindset of the masses that the govt is working for them. it then translates to this their new slogan "give the govt time" before the masses know it they have giving them all the time with nothing to show for it.

I pray this govt exposes them because will all know whose govt those assassination took place

If this is achieved during Buhari's tenure it will be a milestone achievement and will put a stop to state sponsored killings.
