Members of the community cried to the assembly and urged it to liaise with other arms of government to tackle the menace.
Responding, the Speaker of the Assembly, Ayuba Abok, called for calm and restraint.
Mr Abok condoled with the families of the victims and appealed to them not to take laws into their hands, saying such an act would only aggravate the already bad situation.
