“We cannot sit down and watch as innocent people are being murdered. We will do all we can to ensure justice,” he said.

Arama who revealed that he had visited the morgue where the body of the deceased is, added that it is evident that the youth was shot.

“The bullet that was used can help trace the officer who was with that firearm. We are saying as leaders we will work closely to ensure to he officer is arrested,” he stated.

Youths staged protests in London and demanded justice for one of their own.

They barricaded road blocking vehicles and causing traffick snarlup.

But the Lawmakers Arama and Gikaria cooled the situation assuring the youth that they will ensure justice for the family of the departed soul.
