<p>The International Human Rights Network has demanded clarification from the Kano State Government over the reported N6 million given to families of Kano hunters killed during the Uromi killings in Edo State.</p>
<p>The organisation wants Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to explain whether the money was paid as compensation for the lives lost or was merely financial support to the bereaved families.</p>
<p>The coordinator of the International Human Rights Network, Comrade Haruna Ayagi, made the demand while addressing journalists in Kano, saying the families deserve transparency from the government on the nature and purpose of the payment.</p><div class="j6RHdSnb" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Ayagi said the Kano Government should make the matter public and clearly communicate to the affected families whether the N6 million represents compensation, humanitarian assistance or another form of government intervention.</p>
<p>“We are drawing the attention of the government to be transparent. We want the government to do something and let it be open. They want an explanation of the N6 million given to them, whether it is compensation,” Ayagi said.</p>

<p>while those who sustained injuries were reportedly given N1.8 million each.</p>

<p>The human rights activist said the government should not stop at providing financial support but should also follow up with the Edo State Government and other relevant authorities regarding possible compensation for the victims.</p>
<p>Ayagi specifically urged Governor Yusuf to establish the status of any compensation or diya that may be due to the families of those killed, saying the victims&#8217; relatives need clarity on what they should expect.</p>
<p>“It is not only the support we want. We want the Governor to follow up and track from the Edo State Government whether it is diya or support,” Ayagi said.</p>
<p>The coordinator also recalled that the Kano State Government had previously sent the Commissioner for Information to visit the affected families during Eid-el-Fitr, when relief materials and financial assistance were distributed.</p>
<p>According to Ayagi, the families were given bags of rice and cash support ranging between N250,000 and N350,000.</p>
<p>He said such assistance was appreciated but should not be confused with compensation for the lives lost, stressing that the government should state clearly what the N6 million represents.</p>
<p>Ayagi said the families of the deceased remained entitled to information about the steps being taken by the authorities to pursue justice and address the consequences of the killings.</p>
<p>One of the bereaved family members, Bala Dutse Ahmadu, said his son was among those killed in the Uromi incident and left behind 11 children who are now struggling to cope with life without their father.</p>
<p>Ahmadu said the financial assistance provided by the government had offered some relief to the family, but maintained that the support could not erase the consequences of losing a breadwinner.</p>
<p>“My son lost his life during the Uromi killings. He left 11 children. We are now in hardship since he left,” Ahmadu said.</p>
<p>He said the family appreciated the support received but insisted that compensation for the life lost had yet to be adequately addressed.</p>
<p>According to Ahmadu, the affected families are also seeking justice, saying the payment of financial assistance alone does not resolve the circumstances surrounding the deaths.</p>
<p>The International Human Rights Network therefore called on the Kano State Government to publicly clarify the N6 million payment and intensify its engagement with the Edo State Government and other relevant authorities on compensation and justice for the victims.</p>
