The Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives has condemned in its entirety, the unabating killing of Nigerians, particularly the youths, the latest being the brutal murder of Olajide Sowore, the younger brother of the publisher of Sahara Reporters and rights activist, Omoyele Sowore.

In a statement by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Ndudi elumelu, on Saturday, September 4, 2021, the Caucus expressed sadness and said, “It is indeed heartbreaking that our nation’s promising young ones are being daily felled and maimed by bandits, terrorists and kidnappers,” who they noted are now freely marauding the country, while the government looks overwhelmed and helpless.

“The gruesome killing of Olajide, a Pharmacy Student of Igbinedion University, Edo state, on his way from school, by suspected terrorists, is another sad commentary on the horrible security situation and utter hopelessness in our country under the current administration.
