Member-elect from Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji federal constituency of Zamfara state, Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji has described as unfortunate the recent accident involving a train and a BRT bus in Ikeja, Lagos that claimed lives.

In a statement, Saturday, Jaji, a former chairman of the House of Representatives committee on National Security and intelligence in the 8th Assembly condoled with the families of the victims, the people and Government of Lagos state over the development.

“I commend Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the proactive steps he took after the accident.

“I pray that God will grant the dead eternal rest and those who sustained varying degrees of injuries quick recovery.”

On the killing of 29 fishermen in Mukdolo village in Gamboru-Ngala Local Government Area of Borno state, Jaji said it was barbaric and unacceptable, calling on the perpetrators to repent from their evil ways.

“On behalf of my constituents and family, I condemned in strong terms this unprovoked inhuman act by these elements. It is barbaric and unacceptable. I hereby call on those behind the killing to repent and desist from wasting innocent lives forthwith.

“We can not continue like this. Life is very precious, and no human being has the right to take another life. This has to stop, and all Nigerians must rise up and condemn this in its entirety.

“My condolences to the families of the victims and the people and government of Borno state, especially His Excellency, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum over this despicable act”, he said.
