The lawmakers also called on the FCT administration to demolish shanties across the nation’s capital, which they said usually harbours miscreants.

Hon. Gabriel Kolawole (Ondo APC) noted in a motion of urgent public importance that the incident is already causing tension in the FCT due to reports that some religious extremists may have been involved in her murder.

The lawmakers held a minute of silence in memory of the slain mother of seven.
