The Kaduna Doka Development Association has called on Governor Uba Sani and other relevant authorities to seek justice for the murder of Ahmed Musa, a student at Technical School Malali. The appeal highlights the urgent need for a thorough investigation and justice for the victim and his grieving family.

Ahmed Musa, the son of Alhaji Musa, a respected member of the Kaduna Doka Development Association, was brutally murdered on Sunday, February 16, 2025. The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, but the incident has left the community in shock and mourning.

In an emotional letter addressed to His Excellency Governor Uba Sani, the Kaduna Doka Development Association expressed profound sorrow and an urgent plea for justice. The letter, signed by the association’s chairman, Sani Rabiu Bako, emphasizes the devastating impact of this heinous act on the victim’s family and the broader community.

“We write to you with profound sorrow and an urgent plea for justice following the tragic and senseless murder of Ahmed Musa, the son of one of our esteemed members Alhaji Musa, at Technical School Malali. This heinous act has not only devastated the victim’s family but has also deeply affected our entire community,” the letter states.

Ahmed Musa’s father, Comrade Musa Mohammed, a journalist, political analyst, and activist, confirmed the incident, narrating how his son was found within the school premises with signs of brutalization and strangulation. “Ahmed Musa’s body was found within the school premises ‘Government Technical College Malali Kaduna’ with physical signs of brutalization and strangulation. We appeal for a comprehensive investigation to uncover those behind his death and call for adequate compensation by those found to have a hand in it,” he said.

The Kaduna Doka Development Association has always worked tirelessly to promote peace, unity, and development within the community. However, recent events have shaken their faith in the safety of their surroundings. The association urges Governor Uba Sani to direct the relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate the case and ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended and brought to justice.

“We kindly request Your Excellency to direct the relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate this case and ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended and brought to justice. We urge you to prioritize the safety and security of our citizens, especially in educational institutions where young lives should be nurtured and protected,” the letter adds.

In addition to seeking justice for Ahmed Musa, the association also calls for increased security presence, improved surveillance, and enhanced community policing to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The appeal concludes with a request for Governor Uba Sani’s prompt response and assurance that justice will be served, providing comfort to the bereaved family and restoring confidence in the justice system.

The letter was copied to the Commissioner of Education, Commissioner of Police, Director of the Department of State Security (DSS), Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSDC), and the Kaduna North Local Government Chairman.

This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and the Kaduna Doka Development Association hopes that swift and decisive action will be taken to bring justice to Ahmed Musa and his family.

Waiya’s Removal: Veteran Journalist Urges Yusuf to Appoint Professional as Information Commissioner

A veteran journalist, Dr. Garba Ubale Danbatta, has commended Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, for removing Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya from his position as Commissioner for Information in the state’s recent cabinet reshuffle.

Danbatta, who has more than 30 years of experience in journalism, made the commendation in a statement issued to the press, arguing that Waiya’s approach to managing the Ministry of Information was more reflective of civil society activism and advocacy than professional journalism.

According to the veteran journalist, the former commissioner’s activities did little to strengthen professional journalism standards and improve the reputation of the media industry in Kano State.

“As someone who has spent over 30 years in the field of journalism, I commend Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, for his decision to remove the former Commissioner for Information. His approach was not that of a journalist; rather, he operated like an activist, an approach that essentially distorted the profession because it conflicted with the established ethics and standards of journalism,” Danbatta said.

He further alleged that Waiya’s activities had created a negative perception of Kano State among organisations monitoring media freedom, professional standards and the rights of journalists.

“His actions created a negative perception of Kano State among organisations that monitor the media industry and the rights of journalists. It is truly regrettable,” he added.

Danbatta expressed hope that Governor Yusuf would appoint a suitably qualified and experienced professional to head the Ministry of Information, stressing the importance of appointing someone with a solid background in journalism and a cordial working relationship with media practitioners.

He said the next commissioner should prioritise the development of the media industry, promote professional ethics and work towards restoring the reputation of journalism in Kano State.

The veteran journalist also expressed his readiness to offer professional advice and support to the state government towards improving the media sector.

“If the Governor of Kano State takes this step, we, for our part, are prepared to continue offering our full support and advice to help improve the profession and elevate its standing in Kano State in the eyes of the world,” he stated.

Dr. Garba Ubale Danbatta has over three decades of experience in journalism, having worked with several media organisations in Nigeria and abroad.

His professional career includes service with the Hausa Service of Deutsche Welle (DW) in Bonn, Germany; the Hausa section of Daily Trust newspaper; and as Deputy Editor of Rariya newspaper.

He also served as an editor at Hamada Radio in Abuja and Head of the Hausa Service at Kiss FM, Abuja, before joining Radio Nigeria in a managerial capacity.

Waiya was recently reassigned from the Ministry of Information to the Ministry of Youth as part of Governor Yusuf’s cabinet reshuffle.
