Senate President Bukola Saraki has reacted to the death of Linda Igwetu — a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) – who was allegedly killed by a Policeman in Abuja.
Miss Igwetu was allegedly shot by one Benjamin Peters a policeman at Ceddi Plaza junction early hours of Wednesday, July 4, 2018, a day to her passing out from the NYSC.

Speaking at plenary on Thursday, July 5, 2018, Saraki described the death of the late corps member as sad and avoidable.

He expressed displeasure over the failure of medical doctors and nurses at the hospital to attend to Miss Igwetu.
