The Senate following a Point of Order raised by Sen. Joshua Dariye (PDP-Plateau Central) at plenary over the recent killing of Mr. Lazarus Agaie, a first-class traditional ruler in Bokkos, Plateau, have called on security agencies in the country to take adequate steps to bring incessant killing of Nigerians across the country to an end.

Senator Dariye, relying on Order 42, said that the late traditional ruler was apprehended on his way from farm, adding that the rate at which innocent Nigerians were being killed was alarming, thereby calling for urgent steps by relevant stakeholders to stem the tide.

Dr Bukola Saraki, President of the Senate in his remarks said, “We must put an end to this senseless killing of people returning from their farms.

“Security agencies must get the culprits of this dastardly act. Our hearts go to the government and people of Plateau State.”

The motion was unanimously adopted and the legislators observed a minute silence for the deceased monarch and others who died in the incident.
