The governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has strongly condemned the gruesome murder of a social media critic, Ibrahim Khalil Dan Shagamu, in Gaida, Kumbotso Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, and made available to journalists in Kano, Gwarzo described the killing as a deeply disturbing and heartbreaking incident that should shock the conscience of every peace-loving citizen.
He stressed that no human life should be taken because of a person’s opinions, criticism or political views, describing the murder as “heinous, barbaric and totally condemnable.”
Dan Shagamu was reportedly attacked and killed inside his residence in Gaida, an incident that has heightened concerns among residents and renewed questions about the safety of citizens who use social media to express their opinions.
Gwarzo said disagreements, criticism and political differences must never become grounds for taking a human life.
“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.”
The NDC candidate called on security agencies to immediately launch a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing, identify those responsible and ensure that they are brought to justice.
He warned that failure to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators could heighten public fear and further undermine confidence in the state’s security system.
Gwarzo extended his condolences to the family, friends and associates of the deceased, urging them to remain calm and allow the authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
He also called for stronger security measures across communities in Kano State, stressing that the protection of lives and property remains one of the fundamental responsibilities of government.
The NDC candidate urged residents not to resort to reprisal attacks or take the law into their own hands, but to provide security agencies with any relevant information that could assist in identifying and apprehending those responsible.
“Kano must remain a state where citizens can live, work and express their views without fear of violence,” he added.
