Kano state government has concluded plans to establish an independent judicial commission of inquiry to investigate the fatal shooting of protesters during #EndBadGovernance protests in the state.
The Spokesperson of the State Governor, Sanusi Bature, disclosed this at a press conference in his office in Kano Monday.
Recently, Amnesty International urged Governor Abba Yusuf to conduct a thorough investigation into the general conduct of security agencies and the alleged involvement of hired thugs, who reportedly disrupted the protests and caused destruction.
The incident occurred during the #EndBadGovernance protests, where demonstrators demanded significant economic reforms and the reinstatement of fuel subsidies, recently removed by the federal government.
The Governor’s Spokesman said that the main task of the committee was to determine and investigate the fatal shooting of protesters, the root cause of looting of public and private properties during the protest as well as to identify those behind it.
The state government has also announced the prosecution of 632 suspects for vandalizing public buildings, who had since been arraigned before various courts in the state.
Sanusi maintained that the state is committed in maintaining peace and order, warning that anybody found guilty of vandalism would be arrested and prosecuted.
