Two judicial commissions of inquiry have been inaugurated by Kano state government to probe alleged cases of misappropriation of public property, political violence and missing persons between 2015 and 2023 when Abdullahi Ganduje was Governor of the state.

Governor Abba Yusuf who inaugurated the committees on Thursday, April 4, charged them to work towards bringing those found guilty to justice.

He also noted that the misappropriation of the public asset was part of his inaugural pledge. Yusuf also recalled how he promised to unravel and prosecute those behind cases of political violence recorded 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.”
