Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has condemned the recent killing of travellers of northern extraction in Uromi community of Edo state, describing the act as barbaric. The caucus in a statement jointly signed Tuesday by Minority Leader of the House, Hon. Kingsley Chinda, Minority Whip, Hon.
Ali Isa JC, and Deputy Minority Leader, Hon. Aliyu Madaki, said “It is with extreme shock and grief that we received the news of the barbaric murder of about 16 Nigerians, mainly northerners, by a gang of lawless anarchists in Edo State in the last couple of days. “We find such brutal killings of innocent Nigerians in any part of the country by lawless mobs very reprehensible, and if allowed to fester without being put in check by responsible organs of the federal government, such actions could threaten the peace and unity of the country.
“As such, we, the Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives, condemn this violent attack on the northern travellers, which culminated in their gruesome deaths. “We implore all Nigerians to never resort to such jungle attacks on their fellow citizens, but to always implore the services of lawful authorities whenever they notice any issue of concern.”.
