The Kano state Governor, Abba Yusuf, has inaugurated a Judicial Commission of Inquiry (JCI) to look into the violence that followed the nationwide protests in Kano, where billions of Naira worth of property was destroyed.

The 14-man commission is led by retired Justice Lawal Wada Mahmoud, a former State High Court judge, with members from the religious, Civil Society Organizations, Security agencies and the business community.

Inaugurating the Commission on Monday, Governor Yusuf recalled inviting the peaceful protesters to the Government House to submit their demands, which he promised to submit to the presidency, which they did.

However, another set of miscreants carrying dangerous weapons came to the government house but were turned back by the security at the first gate after about three hours of effort.

“While this was happening at the government house, another set of thugs went wayward, destroying public property worth billions of Naira.

“They destroyed the multi-billion Naira IT hub that was about to be commissioned by the state. Stole the computers and furniture.

“They attacked the High Court, destroyed the Chief Judges office, and did away with files.

“Some went to the Kano Printing Press we have renovated, which was put in place by the late Audu Bako regime and destroyed and did away with many things.

“They went violent, destroying shopping malls and stealing property belonging to the members of the public. They even killed some people,” the Kano governor lamented.

He stated that he promised to investigate the matter and deal with anyone involved in perpetrating violence in the state.

Governor Yusuf further promised the JCI that the state government would not interfere with its work, assuring them of a free hand as they deliver the task.

He called on the commission to advise the state government on what to do with the destroyed infrastructure, how to solve the problem and forestall future occurrences correctly, and how to resolve the issue of unemployed youth roving about the streets.

Speaking on behalf of the commission, the chairman thanked the governor for seeing them worthy and giving them the task, promising they would do their best to deliver.
