“The killing of Owolabi, as well as the avoidable deaths of other compatriots, including a Deputy Commissioner of Police, is indeed another sad commentary on the irreplaceable losses and anguish families in Nigeria’’.
Ologbondiyan called on the National Assembly to immediately take urgent legislative steps to unravel how the Monday protest led to the death of yet to be ascertained number of Nigerians.
He also advised President Muhammadu Buhari to take immediate steps that would put to an end the violence ravaging in the country as well ensure a stable, united, equitable and secured Nigeria.
