The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, urged authorities of various security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Police and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to quickly unravel the root of ‘unresolved’ cases of kidnapping across the country.
The resolution was passed sequel to the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Hon Chris Azubogu (PDP-Anambra).
In his lead debate, Hon Azubogu said there have been a lot of cases of missing persons in the Southeast zone, especially in Anambra State, saying one of such instances is recent the kidnapping of Obiora Agbasimalo, the candidate of Labour Party for the last governorship election in the State.
He observed that about five Engineers working with Melan Consultants in Effium Ebonyi state were also kidnapped since November 3, 2021, and nothing has also been heard to date.
The lawmaker said the numerous unresolved cases of kidnapping have created a high level of sense of insecurity in the Southeast, lamenting that after many weeks and still counting, nothing has been heard about most of these victims.
“The House is cognizant that these persons have families and loved ones who are already broken and left in perpetual agony.
“The House is worried that if nothing tangible is done to at least provide hope for these families, we might end up losing them too.”
To this end, the House mandated its relevant Committees to work with the Security Agencies and report back to the House within six weeks.
