Addressing the protesters, the Deputy Majority Leader, Adedamola Kasunmu, thanked them for the peaceful manner they had conducted themselves to the House of Assembly.
Kasunmu promised them that their plea would be presented before the House.
“There was a plenary yesterday and part of the issues raised on the floor of the House was that of Master Adebola Bright, the boy with the missing intestines, and it was unfortunate that yesterday he gave up the ghost.
“We also discussed the demise of Mohbad and I can assure you that we will allow the law to take its course.
“Let us await what the results of the investigations from the police chief will bring and we will take it up from there,” he said.
Other members of the House, Sylvester Ogunkelu, Ajani Owolabi and Rasheed Shabi, were also on hand to receive the protesters.
