Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila has handed over his security operative Abdul M. Hassan to the Department of State Services (DSS) over the shooting of a newspaper vendor Ifeanyi Okereke.

This is contained in a statement personally signed by the speaker on Friday. Gbajabiamila said this is to allow for investigation and appropriate administrative and judicial action on the officer who has also been suspended from the convoy.

“The unfortunate death of Mr. Ifeanyi Okereke at the hands of one of my security aides has left me deeply shaken.

“Mr. Okereke was a citizen going about his business, trying to make a living for himself and his family. There is no reason for his life to have ended the way it did.

“This morning, I have handed over the security operative, Abdullahi M. Hassan, to the Department of State Security (DSS) for investigation and appropriate administrative and judicial action. In the interim, he has been suspended from the convoy.

“I expect, and I will see to it that the family of Mr Ifeanyi Okereke receives the full measure of justice so that their bereavement is not compounded by any actions that can cause them further pain and suffering.

“I have expressed my personal condolence to his family and have arranged to meet with them when the parents of Mr. Okereke, who are already on their way, arrive in Abuja.

“Additionally, I have committed to them that I will support his wife and the immediate family he has left behind.

“I commiserate with the family of Mr. Ifeanyi Okereke and ask all Nigerians to join me at this time to pray for the peaceful repose of his soul,” he said

That's the first step.

Lesson to all overzealous servants trying to please their lords.

My condolence to the bereaved family. May the Almighty console them.

The Vendors Association and well meaning Nigerians should ensure that the promises are not audio.
