Nasarawa Assembly Urges IGP, Kano Govt To Fish Out Killers Of DPO

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has urged the Inspector-General of Police and the Kano State government to fish out killers of CSP Muhammad Ali, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Rano, Kano State.

The House condemned the gruesome killing of the police officer and a citizen of Nasarawa State in Kano State for unjustified reasons.

Speaker of the House, Dr Danladi Jatau, made the call after Mr Solomon Akwashiki, the member representing Lafia Central, brought the issue under Matters of Public Importance during the House proceedings in Lafia on Tuesday.

Jatau said that fishing out and punishing the perpetrators of the devilish act would serve as deterrent to others.

“I want to appreciate Hon. Solomon Yakubu Akwashiki for bringing this matter and others for your contributions on this painful issue.

“First, I want to condole with Nasarawa State Government and Eggon nation over the killing of CSP Ali. He was my classmate in College of Education, Akwanga.

“I am more bereaved than anybody. Look at how he was killed. This is inhuman and devilish.

“We urge His Excellency, Gov. Abdullahi Sule, to draw the attention of the IGP and Kano State Government to conduct full investigation into the gruesome killing of CSP Muhammad Ali and bring the perpetrators to book,” he said.

Earlier, Mr Solomon Akwashiki, member representing Lafia Central constituency, has  condemned the killing of the DPO by mob in Kano State.

“Mr Speaker, when you watch the video you will shade tears. Last year, the DPO of Ahoada in River State, Bako Angbashim was killed, they are all Eggon sons.

“This call for concern, if a security personnel was killed and nothing happened, Nasarawa State and Eggon nation are worried,” he said.

Akwashiki called on his colleagues to support him to ensure that justice is done on the matter.

“The House sympathises with the Nasarawa Government, IGP and the Eggon nation over the gruesome killing of CSP Muhammad Ali.

” I want to call on the IGP and Kano State Government to conduct investigation and fish out the perpetrators of the devilish act,” he said.

On their parts, Mr Daniel Ogazi and Mr  Esson Mairiga supported the motion calling for decisive action in order to bring the perpetrators to book.

They stressed the need for police officers to be protected against mob action and other evil elements in the country.
