“I am devastated by the excruciating loss of this promising young man and more pathetically, in a gruesome manner one could not wish for his archenemy.
“This has once again brought to fore the nightmarish experience of people living in the insurgency ravaged north east part of Nigeria,” he said
The lawmaker called on governments at all levels to redouble efforts at ending insurgency in the north east and other security threats in other parts of the country.
He called on Nigerians to render all the needed support to the security agencies in their quest to end insurgency in the country
“This is a call for the need for governments to redouble efforts to stamp out the irresponsible activities of this terrorist organisation.

Rep. Gagdi called on the family of Dalep to take his death in good faith and accept the will of God.
