The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has called on the Inspector General of Police and the Kano State Government to identify and bring to justice those responsible for the brutal killing of CSP Muhammad Ali, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Rano in Kano State.
The lawmakers condemned in strong terms the gruesome murder of the senior police officer, who was a native of Nasarawa State, describing it as unjustified and unacceptable.
Speaker of the Assembly, Dr. Danladi Jatau, made the call following a motion raised under matters of public importance by Hon. Solomon Yakubu Akwashiki, member representing Lafia Central, during Tuesday’s plenary in Lafia.
Dr. Jatau stressed that apprehending and punishing the culprits would serve as a deterrent to others involved in similar acts of violence.
“I commend Hon. Solomon Yakubu Akwashiki for bringing up this issue and thank all members for their contributions on this painful matter,” the Speaker said.
“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, Governor 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, Hon. Solomon Yakubu Akwashiki, member representing Lafia Central constituency, has condemned the killing of CSP Ali by mob in Kano State.
“The gruesome killing of CSP Muhammad Ali, the DPO of Rano, Kano State calls for concern.
“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 security personnel were killed and nothing happened, Nasarawa State and Eggon nation are worried” he said.
It would be reported that CSP Muhammad Ali, the DPO of Rano Division in Kano State was attacked by youths leading to his death in hospital.
