The Chairman of Tudun Wada Local Government Area and Chairperson of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Hajiya Sa’adatu Salisu Soja Maijamaa, has called for the suspension of Alhassan Ado Doguwa from political activities pending investigation into the death of a young man in the area.
In a statement issued on Friday, the council chairman urged both the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Kano State Government to intervene urgently in the incident that occurred in Tudun Wada, in order to ensure justice and protect the lives and dignity of residents.
She said the people of Tudun Wada were in deep mourning following the death of a young resident, Buhari Mai Fulawa, who reportedly died during a rice distribution exercise organised for members of the community.
According to her, the death of the young man is a huge loss to his family and the entire community.
Hajiya Sa’adatu said the community cannot continue to witness incidents of insecurity and loss of lives without appropriate action being taken. She, therefore, called for a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened and to ensure that necessary steps are taken.
She also urged that Doguwa be suspended from all political engagements and meetings until the required investigation is concluded.
The chairman added that the people of Tudun Wada have the right to peace, security and respect for human life.
She said the community would not remain silent over the incident and would continue to stand firm in demanding justice, truth and protection for its people.
DAILY POST recalls that on Thursday, the Chairman of Doguwa Local Government, Hon. Abdulrashid Rilwan, alongside Hon. Ado Doguwa, launched a distribution of food items and cash worth millions of naira to residents.
The support was reportedly distributed across all 10 wards of the local government, benefiting councillors, advisers, supervisors, political leaders, party supporters, Lafiya Jari, Proper, CRC members, media aides, and other stakeholders.
