Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has inaugurated a 14-member state judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the recent End Bad Governance protests that turned violent in the state.
The Governor noted that the panel was established to fulfill his promise to the protesters, who had gathered at the Government House to express their grievances. He acknowledged their right to peaceful protest and invited them to present their demands to the President.
However, the protest was hijacked by hoodlums who destroyed properties worth billions of Naira, including the NCC digital building, courts, and files. The Governor urged the commission to identify the perpetrators and sponsors of the violence, which also saw the raising of Russian flags by some individuals.
Governor Yusuf assured the panel of a free hand and maximum support to carry out their duties diligently. He also advised them to seek guidance from relevant stakeholders, including ulamas and prison authorities, to ensure a thorough investigation.
“The panel’s findings will help the state government to take appropriate actions and prevent future occurrences of such violence.The Governor commended the members of the press for their good work in reporting the events”
