Reps Lament As One-chance Operators Kill Lawmaker’s Aide In Abuja

The House of Representatives has lamented the resurgence of ‘One Chance’ taxi operators in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja which led to the recent killing of Na’ima Sulaiman, a legislative aide to Hon. Dabo Ismail Haruna, the lawmaker representing Toro Federal Constituency of Bauchi.

This was as the House adopted a motion moved by Hon. Dabo at plenary on Tuesday.

The Green Chamber called on its Committees on Police, FCT and National Intelligence to conduct a comprehensive investigation and liaise with necessary stakeholders such as the FCT Minister, the FCT Commissioner of Police, as well as the FCT Director of the Department of State Services (DSS) to ensure that the problem is brought to an end.

Moving the motion, the lawmaker expressed worry that residents of the FCT were living in fear as the security of the nation’s seat of power continued to deteriorate with brutal criminals going about their daily operations without hindrance.

Na’ima Sulaiman was reportedly taken at gunpoint at Bannex Junction in Wuse 2 by one-chance operators and brutally murdered on Thursday 17th October, 2024 on her way home to Jahi District, around 6:15 pm.

Despite paying ransom in full, her life was tragically cut short. Her body was found between the hours of 9 to 10 pm at Maitama/Minister’s Hill Bridge.
