Today, the Senate is expected to debate on a motion seeking its condemnation and subsequent action on the killings of members of IPOB by security forces.
The slated deliberation is coming at the instance of the Deputy Senate President,Ike Ekweremadu, who drew the attention of the red chamber to the tragedies arising from the unfortunate anniversary celebration of the organization, during yesterday's plenary.
The Deputy Senate President urged the Senate to treat the issue as a matter of urgent national importance; as he condemned in strong terms, the killing of young men and women by security operatives in parts of the South-East, "all in the name of quelling disturbances."
Ekweremadu noted that the country had recorded so much bloodshed in various parts of the country in the past and as such, security agencies must apply caution in quelling perceived disturbances in any part of country whatsoever, to prevent young men and women from being sent to their untimely graves.
