Former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has condemned the killing of social media political commentator Ibrahim Khalil Danshagamu, describing the incident as deeply disturbing.
Danshagamu was reportedly killed at his residence in Gaida, Kumbotso Local Government Area of the state.
Reacting to the incident, Gwarzo expressed concern over the circumstances surrounding the killing and called for a thorough investigation to ensure that those responsible are identified and brought to justice.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, and made available to journalists in Kano, Gwarzo described the murder as “heinous, barbaric and totally condemnable.”
He urged security agencies to intensify efforts to protect residents and prevent further attacks, stressing the need for stronger measures to address growing security concerns in the state.
Gwarzo also sympathised with the family, friends and associates of the deceased, while urging residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security authorities by providing useful information.
“The murder of Ibrahim Khalil Dan Shagamu is deeply disturbing and condemnable. No disagreement, criticism or political difference should ever justify taking a human life.
“The life of every citizen matters, regardless of political affiliation, opinion or social status. Those behind this terrible act must be found and brought to justice.” He said.
The Kano State Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with the killing and said investigations are ongoing.
