The Nigerian Senate observed a minute silence in honour of the dead victims of the Otukpo bank robbery in Benue State.
Recall that the awful incident occurred on Friday, October 20, 2023.
The resolution of the Senate to observe a minute silence followed its consideration of a motion on the urgent need for the police to investigate the incident.
The motion was moved by Senator Abba Moro of the Peoples Democratic Party (Benue South) under matters of urgent public importance, citing Orders 41 and 51 of the Senate Standing Orders.
The Senate also urged the police to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack as well as unravel the mystery of lack of intelligence and alertness on the part of the police on the day of the attack.
