Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and ex-Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has condemned the gruesome murder of a housewife and six children at Dorayi Quarters in Kano.
In a statement issued by his Chief of Staff, Comrade Muhammad Garba, the former governor applauded the Nigerian police for the swift arrest of the suspects involved in the nefarious act.
He strongly condemned the brutal killing, describing it as tragic, inhuman and deeply disturbing, and called for the immediate prosecution of those responsible.
He extended his condolences to the bereaved family and the Dorayi Chiranci community in Gwale Local Government Area of the state.
Ganduje noted that the tragic killings serve as a painful reminder of the urgent need for sustained efforts to safeguard innocent lives and preserve peace in society.
He urged security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure the diligent prosecution of all those involved.
“The speed and professionalism demonstrated by the Kano State Police Command are reassuring. Justice must be pursued to its logical conclusion to serve as a deterrent to others,” he said.
He further appealed to residents to continue supporting security agencies by providing timely and credible information, emphasising that strong community cooperation remains vital to maintaining lasting peace and security.
