Federal Government to chase down killers of Corp member in Rivers state re-run

Solomon Dalung, Minister of Youths and Sports Development, says the Federal Government will chase down the killers of the NYSC member, Samuel Okonta, who was killed during the rerun election in Rivers state last Saturday. Dalung said this while paying a condolence visit to the Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Johnson Olawumi yesterday March 23, 2016.

He criticized politicians for always engaging in politics with bitterness.

“Politicians aspire to hold public office because they want to develop Nigeria. In doing this, they are talking of protecting the lives of Nigerians. So it is very bad that we cannot conduct an ordinary election without conflict. In the bid to protect our interests, innocent people will lose their lives. If they kill all Nigerians, who do we rule over? Are they going to rule animals?" he said.
