• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.105. While I agree that the issue of abductions is a very serious issue in the country, you cannot allow Sen. Okiya Omtatah to get away with what he is saying that the abductions that are happening within the country are either state-sanctioned or police-sanctioned and talk of defunding a unit.
