In a resolution passed by the House, the Speaker, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor who presided over Tuesday’s plenary, called on the State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori to urge relevant security agencies to investigate perpetrators of the dastardly act in line with appropriate laws.

In a motion of matters of urgent public importance, the member representing Ughelli South Constituency, Hon Festus Utuama called on members of the Hallowed Chamber to vehemently condemn the killing of 16 military personnel and 1 civilian on a peacekeeping mission to Okuama community.
