The Emir urged Kano youths to refrain from retaliatory actions, emphasizing that Islam prohibits revenge and encourages justice through lawful means. His message was delivered to a large gathering, including the state governor and his deputy.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has promised that the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) will collaborate with the police and other security agencies to identify and apprehend the individuals responsible for the killings. General Musa condemned the incident and stated that it could have been avoided if the authorities had been notified earlier.

Additionally, the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and Senator Sani Musa (APC Niger) condemned the killings, calling for a thorough investigation and justice for the victims.

In response to the incident, the Edo State government has suspended all illegal vigilante groups, including the Commander of the Edo State Security Corps, CP Friday Ibadin (rtd.). This follows an internal review of the killings. The government confirmed that the local vigilante group involved had not been registered or profiled with the appropriate authorities.

The Edo State government also announced ongoing investigations, with 14 suspects currently in custody. A special team set up by the Inspector-General of Police is conducting a manhunt for others involved in the killings.

The Kano State government has arranged for a delegation to travel to Edo to engage with the local authorities and Hausa community to ensure justice is served and the perpetrators are brought to book. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf condemned the act and reassured the people of Kano that the government would pursue justice and ensure the affected families receive compensation.

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) also condemned the killings, calling for a thorough investigation and the arrest of those responsible. The organization urged against any form of retaliation, highlighting the importance of justice and due process.

Finally, the spokesman for the House of Representatives, Akintunde Rotimi, called for the arrest of the perpetrators and urged Nigerians to live in harmony despite ethnic or religious differences.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
