The Deputy Senate President,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu has reacted to the murder of a former Chief of Defence
Staff, Alex Badeh.
Badeh was killed by unknown
gunmen along the Abuja-Keffi expressway while returning from his farm on
Tuesday.
Ekweremadu has now urged security
operatives to launch a full investigation into the death of the former service
chief.
Speaking after Senators observed
a minute silence during Thursday’s plenary, the lawmaker lamented the murder of
the former Defence Chief.
He said: He went through this
risky profession and survived, only to be killed by the same people he fought
to protect. It is even sadder that these killers may not be found, based on
past cases.
“It is time we ensure that those
who kill people are found and punished. For such a great country in Africa, we
must ensure the safety of our citizens.
“I appeal to the relevant
authorities to get to the root of this matter. The perpetrators will not go
unpunished.”
