From Desmond Mgboh, Kano
Former Kano State Governor and New Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has condemned the killing of political commentator Ibrahim Khalil Dan Shagamu.
In a statement, Kwankwaso described the attack as horrific and expressed deep concern over the circumstances of the death.
He called on the Kano State Government to set up an investigative panel immediately to probe the killing and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.
Kwankwaso warned that if the authorities fail to act decisively and transparently, an incoming NDC administration would launch its own comprehensive investigation and hold those responsible accountable.
He also urged both the Kano and Federal Governments to put measures in place to protect opposition voices from threats, attacks and intimidation.
“Freedom of expression is constitutionally guaranteed to all Nigerians, and that right must be protected regardless of political affiliation,” he said.
“The Nigerian authorities must ensure a full investigation and that those responsible are held accountable.”
Kwankwaso extended condolences to the family, friends and followers of the deceased, and prayed that Almighty Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
