LAWMAKERS at
House of Representatives yesterday, called for the reopening of investigations
into some past unresolved high-profile murders extrajudicial killings, urging
the police to be alive to their responsibilities, especially in crime
prevention and investigation. However,
a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Imo State, Chikere Okafor,
has decried the exclusion of his region in the recent leadership appointments
in the lower chamber and called on the party to go beyond lip service and
rhetoric to embrace every section of the country in the much hyped spirit of
the change.
In
its resolution during plenary on a motion by Kingsley Chinda on the need for
further investigation into such cases, the House, presided by the Speaker,
Yakubu Dogara, also mandated its committees on Police Affairs, and Public
Safety and National Security, (when constituted) to monitor the investigations
of such cases and present an interim report within four weeks.
