Lawan Expresses Sadnes Over Death Of Vanguard Reporter, Tordue Salem

 Ahmad Lawan, the President of the Senate, has expressed shock and sadness over the news of the death of Tordue Salem, a National Assembly Correspondent of Vanguard newspapers.

He stated this in a statement by his media aide, Ola Awoniyi, titled, “Lawan deeply saddened by the death of Vanguard reporter,” made available to newsmen in Abuja on Friday.

Lawan said the concern of the National Assembly, when the Senate and the House of Representatives passed separate motions over the disappearance of Mr Salem, was that he was quickly found and reunited hale and hearty with his family and colleagues.

He said, “It is therefore shocking to hear that the journalist had all the while been killed by a hit-and-run driver in an accident.

“This is a very unfortunate and heart-rending development,” Lawan says.

Lawan also prayed to God to comfort all the loved ones of the departed Salem and grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
