Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has urged the
Federal Government to probe the alleged attack on Hausa community in Rivers
State by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Ganduje averred that if those behind the attack were not
punished, such incident will keep recurring.
He made the call while addressing the leadership of Northern
Youth Coalition who paid him a courtesy visit in his office, in Kano.
Ganduje, who noted that two wrongs does not make a right,
warned against actions or inaction that would lead to reprisal attacks.
According to Ganduje, “The Federal Government should quickly
investigate the violent attacks on Hausa community in Rivers and ensure that
those behind it are not only punished but also sanctioned to served as
deterrent.
“If those behind the attack are not punished, the case will
keep recurring and possibly lead to something else.
“IPOB is wrong in their violentt response to issues, and
this cannot be a yardstick upon which somebody could use to cause mayhem
against innocent citizens.’’
The governor commended Northern Youth on their stance for
unity of Nigeria.
“This disposition of the Northern Youth shows that they
stand by one united Nigeria devoid of rancor and instability, and this should
be commended and also be emulated,’’ he said.
DAILY POST had earlier reported that Ganduje met with Igbo
leaders in Kano.
