The Member, House of Representatives for the Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency, Hon. Nnamdi Ezechi, has solicited the intervention of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Major General Christopher Musa and Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, for the immediate release of an abducted unidentified constituent.
Ezechi, in a letter addressed to the two security chiefs, commended them for their commitment to securing the lives and property of citizens of the country but added that they needed to do more to effectively deal with the increasing spate of kidnapping and banditry in parts of the country.
He said the unwholesome activities of bandits and kidnappers had become worrisome over the years and had portrayed the country in a bad light in the comity of nations, adding that the nation’s economy had been greatly affected due to the relocation of local and foreign investors to neighboring countries over insecurity.
The Federal lawmaker stated that a video clip of the said kidnapped victim had gone viral, describing the release of the video as despicable, barbaric, dehumanizing and embarrassing.
Ezechi promised, in his capacity as a member of the House of Representatives, to collaborate with the security agencies in the fight against insecurity to make the country safe and habitable for the people, especially in his constituency.
