The Kano state government has established two judicial commissions of inquiry to investigate allegations of misappropriation of public funds, political violence, and cases of missing persons during the tenure of Abdullahi Ganduje as Governor from 2015 to 2023.
Governor Abba Yusuf, who inaugurated the committees on Thursday, April 4, charged them with the responsibility of uncovering those responsible and ensuring justice is served.
He emphasized that addressing the misappropriation of public assets was a key commitment he made upon assuming office. Governor Yusuf also reiterated his pledge to address and prosecute individuals involved in political violence incidents in the state.
The Governor said;
“Political violence is a major setback to democracy worldwide. It leads to loss of lives and property as well as mistrust on the part of the people and those in power.
“The disturbing cases of political killings especially in 2023 must not be swept under the carpet, this is to ensure we prevent future occurrences.
“The first commission under Justice Zuwaira Yusuf will look into cases of political violence and missing persons from 2015-2023. We expect them to unravel the criminal network involved and unmask the sponsors to face justice, find its causes and find out where violence is associated with 2015, 2019 and 2013.”
