Chairman of Tudun Wada Local Government Area and Chairperson of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Hajiya Sa’adatu Salisu Soja Maijamaa, has demanded the suspension of Alhassan Ado Doguwa from political activities pending investigation into the death of a young man in the area.
The LG chairman in a statement on Friday, 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.
Maijamaa 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 the council chairman, the death of the young man is a huge loss to his family and the entire community.
Maijamaa 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 called for Doguwa’s suspension 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.
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.
