“Let’s look out for one another” – Kwankwaso calls for unity, vigilance after Kano killings

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Kano governor and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, has commended the Kano State Police for the arrest of suspects linked to the killing of a woman and her six children in Kano.

Kwankwaso said it was “profoundly relieving” to learn that the Kano State Police Command had swiftly arrested the principal suspects believed to be responsible for the murder of Fatima Abubakar and her six children in Dorayi Chiranchi.

“This barbaric act of violence against a defenceless mother and her young children is utterly heartbreaking and deeply tragic,” he said.

“My heart goes out to the grieving family, the Dorayi Chiranchi community, and all of Kano in this moment of sorrow,” Kwankwaso added.

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.

The former governor also called on residents of the state to remain vigilant and united against violence.

“To my fellow people of Kano: let us redouble our vigilance, look out for one another, and strengthen the bonds of community watchfulness,” 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.
