Killers Of Corps Member In Rivers Will Not Go Unpunished – Minister

Barrister Solomon Dalung, Minister of youths and sports development, has warned that those who contributed to the death of Samuel Okonta, a serving corps member, who was killed during the Rivers State re-run elections would not go unpunished. Speaking when he received members of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who paid a condolence visit to the NYSC headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, Dalung condemned the inhumane acts of violence during elections. His words: “I want to assure Nigerians that the actors of the wicked acts in Rivers rerun election last weekend must be brought to book. They must be punished for what they have done. I want to assure Nigerians that this government will not condone any impunity again because it is impunity that has destroyed this country,” he noted. Dalung appealed to politicians to always play the game, by the rules adding that at no point should officials and spectators be made the casualty of that game, because power according to him, is not worth the life of one single Nigerian.
