President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan has called for speedy justice over the murder of an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Baba-Goni Aisami in Yobe.
Lawan made the call when he paid a condolence visit to the late cleric family on Wednesday in Gashua.
“I am here specifically and specially to condole with the family of late Sheikh Baba-Goni Aisami who was murdered by a soldier.
“Thank God that the soldier has been arrested and is going to be prosecuted.
“I’m taking this opportunity to urge the authorities, the police particularly, to ensure speedy justice for the late Sheikh.
“I want to also assure everyone that we will continue to pursue this case until justice is done,” Lawan said.
While he prayed for Almighty Allah to grant the deceased Aljannatul Firdaus, Lawan commended Gashua people for remaining calm and peaceful when the incident happened.
He said all possible measures must be taken to arrest situations like that in the country.
