President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the families of Precious Owolabi, an NYSC member serving with Channels Television and Deputy Commissioner of Police, Usman Umar, of the FCT Police Command.
Recall that members of IMN on Monday attacked emergency point of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA during their protest which led to the deaths of these two.
According to a statement signed by Femi Adesina, a Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Buhari urged management and staff of the television station and police leadership to remain steadfast and committed to their professional callings.
President Buhari added that the death of Owolabi and Umar was untimely, “sad, regrettable and worrisome,” as he described them as “law-abiding, hardworking and vibrant Nigerians with a promising future,”
Before their death, Precious Owolabi, was a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving at Channels Tv and Usman Umar was a Deputy Commissioner of Police.
