The Honourable Minister of State, Festus Keyamo, has made a press statement condemning the killing of a 28-year-old man in Warri, Delta State.

Recall that NaijaHomeBased reported that the young Joseph Pessu was reportedly shot dead along an express road for flouting the lockdown order imposed in the state.

In the same vein, Festus Keyamo, who is a native of Delta State, took to his blog to release a statement condemning the action of the soldiers responsible for the violence.

“I unreservedly condemn this barbaric act by men of the armed forces who should exercise restraint when dealing with the civilian populace,” he said.

Meanwhile, he urged citizens of the state not to take the law into their hands, saying he ‘will be forwarding a petition to the relevant authorities” to thoroughly investigate the murder.

“In the interim, let us not take the laws into our hands, please. I will also use this medium to sincerely appeal to my brothers and sisters in Delta State to be law-abiding and obey the orders of restrictions imposed by both the Delta State Government and the Federal Government.

“They are lawful orders and they are for our own good,” he added.
