The Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday called on the state Police Command to investigate the murder of Anene Otazie, who was killed on February 25 at Ladipo Market, Oshodi.
The News Agency of Nigeria learnt that Otazie’s death followed the clash between security agents and traders during a protest against alleged extortion.
The call followed a motion moved by Jude Idimogu (PDP-Oshodi/Isolo II) under matters of Urgent Public Importance on the floor of the House.
Idimogu, who decried the incident, said such needed to be investigated to prevent further destruction.
According to him, one man from Awoyemi Family who claimed ownership of a portion of land at the market came to the market with armed thugs to destabilise it.
He said the thugs destroyed a lot of property at the market and killed the victim in the process.
The lawmaker, however, called for a quick passage of Land Grabbers Bill on the floor of the House to check all land-related issues.
Responding, the Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, described the incident as a bad image for the state.
Obasa said the matter should be investigated by the Police to curb future occurrence.
