The Nigerian House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the killing of a Lagos based Lawyer by officer of the Nigerian Police.
This was sequel to a Motion on the urgent need to investigate the Killing of Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem by an officer of the Nigerian Police, moved by Hon Ibrahim Obanikoro.
He moved that Police officers should be banned from consuming alcohol and other substances that are capable of limiting their sense of reasoning and capability to carry out their duties judiciously.
“There should be zero tolerance policy to misconduct or misbehaviour in the Nigerian Police Act,” Obanikoro said.
The House observed a minute’s silence for the deceased.
The motion was moved by Rep. @Jidekoro
