Two judicial commissions of inquiry into cases of misappropriation of public property, political violence and missing persons between 2015 and 2023 has been inaugurated in Kano state.
While inaugurating the panels on Thursday, Governor Yusuf charged its members to work towards bring anyone found wanting to book.
He said investigating the misappropriation of the public asset was part of his inaugural pledge to unravel and prosecute those behind cases of political violence recorded in the state.
“Political violence is a major setback to democracy worldwide. It leads to loss of lives and property as well as mistrust on the part of the people and those in power.”
“The disturbing cases of political killings especially in 2023 must not be swept under the carpet, this is to ensure we prevent future occurrences.
“The first commission under Justice Zuwaira Yusuf will look into cases of political violence and missing persons from 2015-2023.
“We expect them to unravel the criminal network involved and unmask the sponsors to face justice, find its causes and find out where violence is associated with 2015, 2019 and 2013.”
The governor gave the commission headed by Justice Faruk Lawan the mandate of inquiry into cases of misappropriation of public property and assets.
He urged Justice Lawan and his members not to be biased in identifying cases of misappropriation of public property and assets, especially by the last administration within and outside the state.
He, however, emphasized that the move is neither political nor targeted at any individual but it’s a move with the mandate of the people of the state.
