The Independent Mirror reports that a high-powered committee was constituted by Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, in response to the tragic incident that occurred last month, which has heightened tensions in the affected community.
According to the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu, the committee was tasked with a fact-finding and peace-building mission.
The committee includes prominent figures such as the Emir of Rano, Ambassador Mohammad Isa Umar; the Commissioners for Religious Affairs, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Special Duties, and Women Affairs; the Chairman of Bunkure Local Government Area, among other top officials.
Shu’aibu stated that the committee was established in response to the outrage and growing concern over the violent attacks in Uromi, which claimed several lives and displaced many residents, including indigenes of Kano State residing in the area.
