Following the death of 26 teenage Nigerian girls who died
in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Italy on Sunday, Senate has
blamed the Federal Government for the harsh economic situation in the country,
which they said caused the tragedy.
Subsequently the Upper Chamber mandated it's committee on
Diaspora, Foreign Affairs and Special Duties to investigate the circumstances
leading to the murder of 26 young Nigerian girls.
This followed a motion sponsored by Senator Rose Okoh from
Cross Rivers North who brought to the attention of the Senate the reported
gruesome story of the dead bodies of 26 Nigerian girls of ages fourteen to
eighteen discovered in a spanish war ship "CANTABRIA".
In his contribution, Senator Shehu Sani (Kaduna Central)
who also condemned in strong term the death of the teenage girls, called on
government to provide a conducive environment for development of youths in the
country.
Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who
also condemned the tragedy, advised government at both federal and state
levels to tackle the rising rate of unemployment in the country, and provide
basic needs.
An Egyptian and a Libyan National has been reportedly
arrested by the Italian authorities in connection with the incidence.
