Gov. Yusuf Condemns Lynching of 2 Kano Indigenes in Makurdi, Vows Justice

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has condemned in strong terms the gruesome killing of two Kano indigenes, Barhama Suleiman and Jamilu Ahmad, who were murdered on Monday night in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

The victims were reportedly attacked around 11:00 p.m. by unknown assailants and killed in cold blood without provocation. In a statement issued by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the tragic incident has sparked outrage and sorrow among residents of Kano and across the country.

Describing the attack as “barbaric, senseless, and unacceptable,” Governor Yusuf expressed deep grief over the loss, vowing that justice will be pursued swiftly and decisively.

“It is with a heavy heart and deep sense of loss that we announce the passing of two promising sons of Kano. They were innocent, peace-loving citizens whose only crime was exercising their constitutional right to live and work in any part of Nigeria,” the Governor said.

The deceased, it was confirmed, were sons of prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil. Governor Yusuf extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and particularly to Sheikh Khalil, describing the incident as a personal and communal tragedy.

In a demonstration of solidarity, the Governor announced he would personally lead a high-powered delegation to attend the funeral prayers for the victims at the National Mosque in Abuja.

While calling for calm, Governor Yusuf assured the public that his administration is working closely with relevant security agencies and the Benue State Government to ensure that those responsible for the killings are identified and prosecuted.

“This government will not rest until justice is served,” he said. “We call for calm and restraint as we collaborate with all security agencies to bring the murderers to justice. Nigeria belongs to all of us. Every citizen has the right to live, move, and thrive in any part of this country without fear of discrimination or violence.”

The Kano State Government reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the lives and rights of all its citizens, regardless of where they reside, and urged the public to remain peaceful and law-abiding as investigations into the incident continue.
