A member representing Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam Federal Constituency in Plateau, Yusuf Gagdi, says that Boko Haram has killed Daciya Dalep, his constituent and student of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID).
In a statement on Wednesday, Mr Gagdi described the incident as “inhuman”.
Dalep, a native of Jing in Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau, was abducted a fortnight ago by the insurgents on his way to Maiduguri to resume school.
The insurgents released a video where Dalep was gruesomely executed.
“I condemn in the strongest terms, the gruesome execution of Daciya Dalep, a native of Jing in Pankshin and a Biology/Education student of University of Maiduguri by members of the Boko Haram,” Gagdi said.
“I am devastated by the excruciating lost of this promising young man, and more pathetically, in a gruesome manner one could not wish for his arch enemy.
“This has, once again, brought to fore the nightmarish experience of people living in the insurgency ravaged Northeastern part of Nigeria.”
The lawmaker called on governments at all levels to double efforts at ending insurgency in the North-East and other security threats in other parts of the country.
He called on Nigerians to render all the needed support to the security agencies in their quest to end insurgency in the country.
“I want to strongly advocate for more logistics and moral support to the security operatives fighting insurgency anywhere in Nigeria,” he said.
Gagdi called on the family of Dalep to take his death in good faith and accept the will of God.
