The council also supported calls for in- depth investigation to unravel the immediate and remote circumstances surrounding the gruesome murder of Mr.Tordue.
 
It also condoled with the National President of NUJ, the entire National Secretariat and NUJ Zone D over the tragedy, and prayed to God to comfort the bereaved family.
