The House of Representatives has urged the Acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbotokun to prosecute NDLEA officers accused of killing 2years old Ivan Omhonrina.
The House made the call on Tuesday following a motion moved by Uyime Idem on the floor of the House.
Mr Idem said the toddler was killed on 13 July in Asaba while his younger brother was shot in the eye.
The lawmaker said the extra-judicial killings by law enforcement agents must be curbed by ensuring swift intervention.
He added that “reoccurring killings of innocent Nigerians by stray bullets pose significant risks and consequences for individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole.”
Following the presentation of the motion, the House resolved that the NDLEA and other agencies should invest in the training of officers.
In addition, a-minute silence was observed to mourn little Ivan Omhonrina.
