He noted that NHRC and the CSO have received a series of complaints from the members of the public on the gruesome murder of three persons arising from APC primaries, adding that the joint bodies would not remain silent watching the Kano explode in political crisis.
The NHRC explained that consequent upon the magnitude of the allegation, the joint forum resolved to constitute a joint public hearing committee, to provide avenue for members of the general public to submit written and or, oral evidence to fully established a claim of the alleged killings
Besides, the joint forum of the commission and CSO have constituted a joint public hearing committee to unravel the alleged killings that ensued during the primary held on Saturday 27th May, at Sani Abacus Indoor Sports Hall.
President, Kano Civil Society Forum, Amb. Ibrahim Waiya emphasized the resolution of the joint forum and further stressed that the committee is entrusted to collate reports and evidence, which would be submitted to relevant authorities for discreet investigation, arrest, and prosecution of anyone found culpable.
Waiya insisted that NHRC and CSO resolved to follow up subsequent investigation to the logical conclusion until justice is conspicuously served
