Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has urged Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, to publicly parade the perpetrators behind the killing of 16 travelers in Uromi, Edo State.
Yusuf made the demand when Okpebholo led a delegation to Kano to condole with the families of the victims, most of whom were from Kano.
He described the attack as brutal, noting that many were “maimed, burnt, and murdered in cold blood.”
While commending Edo’s swift response and the arrest of 14 suspects, Yusuf insisted that justice must be seen to be done.
“We appeal that the perpetrators be paraded publicly so the world sees those behind this heinous crime,” he said.
Okpebholo assured that the suspects were being transferred to Abuja for further investigation, adding that President Bola Tinubu had ordered a thorough probe.
He emphasized that the attack did not represent Edo’s values and pledged to uphold harmony between communities.
Both governors condemned reprisal actions, calling for unity and stronger security measures to prevent future violence.
