He praised the police for what he described as a rapid and intelligence-led response to the incident.
“I commend the Kano State Police Command for its rapid, intelligence-led response and for apprehending the suspects within hours. This prompt action offers a glimmer of justice in the face of such cruelty,” he stated.
Kwankwaso urged the authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
“I urge the authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and to bring these perpetrators to swift and decisive justice, so that such evil is never repeated,” he said.

“Together, through unity, alertness, and collective responsibility, we can help uproot this culture of violence and build a safer society for our families,” Kwankwaso added.
