Recall that earlier this month, Governor Yusuf inaugurated two judicial commissions of inquiry (JCIs) to investigate instances of misappropriation of public properties and assets on one hand and political violence, and incidentso of missing persons between 2015 and 2023 on the other hand.
During the inauguration of the JCI members, Governor Yusuf pledged to hold accountable anyone found culpable, emphasising his commitment to uncovering and prosecuting those responsible for political violence in the state during previous elections.
The governor urged the first panel to thoroughly investigate cases of misappropriated public properties and assets during the tenure of immediate-past administration under Ganduje.
Governor Yusuf clarified that the initiative was not politically motivated or directed at any individual but rather a response to the yearning of the people of Kano State.
It can also be recalled that Justices of the State High Courts, Farouq Adamu and Zuwaira Yusuf, along with other eminent persons, were selected and appointed as chairmen and members of the two commissions of inquiry, respectively.
