Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Ummulkhairi Usman Aliyu in Maraban Jos, Kaduna, assuring them of government’s support and a commitment to justice.
In a statement issued Saturday, the Governor said he met with Ummulkhairi’s husband, Malam Aliyu, and other family members to “personally express my heartfelt sympathy and stand with them in a moment of profound grief.”
“I prayed to Almighty Allah to grant Ummulkhairi eternal rest and to strengthen her loved ones with patience, comfort, and the fortitude to bear this heavy burden,” he said.
Governor Sani reaffirmed his administration’s “unwavering commitment to justice,” stating that those responsible for the “heinous act” will be identified, apprehended, and prosecuted.
He disclosed that 41 suspects have been charged to court for culpable homicide, while 30 others face charges for unlawful assembly. According to him, 17 individuals found not culpable have been released, while 41 others remain under investigation as security agencies work to apprehend more suspects still at large.
The Governor further assured that a “comprehensive investigation remains underway” and that any police personnel found to have been directly or indirectly complicit will “face the full consequences of the law.”
Beyond legal action, Governor Sani pledged that the Kaduna State Government will take responsibility for the education and welfare of the children Ummulkhairi left behind.
“Our duty extends beyond words; it demands compassion, justice, and steadfast action,” he told Malam Aliyu and the family.
