Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki on Tuesday pledged that the Nigerian Senate, upon resumption, will look into the crises that have led to the wanton loss of lives and property in the Southern part of Kaduna State, in recent times.
The Senate President
made this known while responding to the cry of a concerned Nigerian on
Twitter on Monday, according to a statement by his Special Assistant on
New Media, Bamikole Omishore, in Abuja.
A twitter user,
Chimeze Okoro Ukoha had tweeted: “@Bukolasaraki About 800 Christians
massacred in Kaduna and nobody is talking about that. VERY BAD,” the
concerned Nigerian told Saraki.
In his response,
Saraki said: “Once @NGRSenate resumes, this issue will be addressed to
get a clearer picture of what the real situation is and find a lasting
solution.”
Saraki went further
by also tweeting: "Every Nigerian life matters, and @ngrsenate will work
to ensure that rule of law is always upheld as prescribed by Nigerian
Constitution."
The killings in Southern Kaduna have continued to generate reactions from various quarters, especially among the masses.
Many have questioned
why the killings have continued despite the security measures put in
place by the Kaduna State Government. A lot of Nigerians have also
appealed to the Federal Government to nip the
ugly trend in the bud.
Special Assistant on
New Media to the Senate President, Bamikole Omishore, said the Senate
President is in touch with Senators from that state and constantly
getting updates on developments even though
the Senate is on recess.
