While moving the motion Rep Okechukwu said: “The House notes the gruesome murder of Mr Eugene lloabani in his farm at Isiokwe village, Amankpunato, Oji River LGA, Enugu State.
“The House is concerned that with the worsening state of insecurity, our farmers have abandoned their farms for safety, a situation that will result in food shortage, hunger and drought. The House is convinced that bringing the killers to book would serve as deterrence to other criminal elements in the state.”
