Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has called for a public parade of the suspects arrested in connection with the brutal killing of 16 Kano indigenes in Udene, Uromi Local Government Area of Edo State.
The governor also reiterated the need for full compensation to the families of the victims as part of justice for the heinous act.
Governor Yusuf made this demand on Monday when he received Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, who led a delegation to Kano to offer condolences over the tragic incident.
He insisted that the swift arrest of the perpetrators must be followed by a transparent process, including a public parade, to assure Nigerians that justice is being served.
“We appreciate the prompt action taken so far, but justice must not only be done; it must be seen to be done. The people of Kano, and indeed all Nigerians, deserve to see those responsible for this massacre brought to justice publicly,” Governor Yusuf stated.
He further commended Governor Okpebholo for engaging with Hausa community leaders in Edo State to prevent escalation and for committing to compensating the bereaved families.
“The compensation promised is a commendable step, but it must be executed without delay to support the grieving families who have lost their breadwinners,” he added.
Governor Yusuf also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for directing security agencies to take immediate action and emphasized that such atrocities must never be repeated in any part of Nigeria.
