Isa, in the plenary, told the house that two people were shot by the police in Shelleng for riding motorcycle.

The legislator,who called for investigation into the incident, said the victims were now receiving treatment at the hospital.

After contributions from members, the Speaker, Kabiru Mijinyawa, assigned the Committee on Security to investigate the matter and report to the house in two weeks.
