In a deeply emotional moment during Tuesday's parliamentary session, Akin Rotimi, the spokesperson of the Nigerian House of Representatives, shed tears while discussing the escalating insecurity in Ekiti State.
Focusing on the recent tragic murder of two monarchs in Oke-Ako, Mr. Rotimi, representing Oye/Ikole Federal Constituency, called for urgent security intervention to address the rising criminal activities in the region.
The House resolved to deploy soldiers to the Oke-Ako area, urging security agencies to intensify efforts to apprehend the perpetrators. In an additional heartbreaking incident, six schoolchildren, three teachers, and a bus driver were kidnapped in Emure, Ekiti State, on the same day.
The House adopted a motion urging security agencies to rescue the victims, leading to a moment of silence.
This emotional session reflects the broader insecurity crisis plaguing Nigeria, prompting calls for swift action from President Bola Tinubu and raising concerns across the nation.
