    Kano state Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf popularly known as Abba Gida-Gida has vowed to reopen the case of murder against the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa.

    Abba also promised to review other electoral offences perpetrated during the past eight years of the administration of his predecessor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

    He said;

    “We shall investigate all cases of political violence that led to loss of lives and properties across the State in the last eight years.

    “The infamous case of Alhassan Ado Doguwa, who allegedly sponsored the maiming and murder of over 15 innocent souls in Tudun Wada Local Government will be pursued to its logical conclusion.

    “The numerous victims of the Ganduje campaign of violence, using thugs that were being intoxicated with drugs will not be left unchecked.

    “In order to prevent future occurrence, a judicial Commission of Inquiry will be put in place to ensure that the perpetrators and their sponsors are brought to justice and the families of the victims of political thuggery are also entitle to justice.”

    The Kano state Governor also promised to pursue the case of Dadiyata, a member of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, who was kidnapped and last heard of five years ago.
