The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara, has
condemned the brutal murder of Mrs. Bridget Agbaheme in Kano State,
saying all Nigerians must rise against this grievous act of lawlessness
and impunity. He asserted that the perpetrators of the heinous crime
must be fished out to face the full wrath of the law.
A statement issued by the spokesman to the Speaker,
Turaki Hassan, quoted him as saying that there must be justice for the
victim who was allegedly killed by a mob in a market in Kano State over
allegations of blasphemy.
"We live in a society governed by clearly stated rules and laws.
"We live in a society governed by clearly stated rules and laws.
When such crimes of high magnitude, or any at all, are allowed to go
unpunished for any reason, we risk descending into a state of
lawlessness and anarchy where anyone can assume the role of judge, jury
and executioner.
The rule of law must prevail. I urge all security agencies to ensure
that they carry out a thorough investigation into the events that led to
her untimely death and ensure that the perpetrators of this crime are
brought to face the full wrath of the law", he stated.
Calling for tolerance among Nigerians, irrespective of religious or
ethnic differences, the Speaker noted that the peace and sanctity of
Nigeria is not negotiable and as such, everything must be done to
protect them insisting that the fundamental rights of citizens enshrined
in the constitution must be respected by one all.
Dogara condoled with the family of the deceased and prayed that God
comfort them noting that it was not only their grief but that of all
Nigerians of goodwill and, indeed, lovers of humanity.
