THE Kano State Government has set up a commission of inquiry to investigate the root causes of the violence that attended the #EndBadGovernance protests last week.
The commission will identify those responsible, and recommend measures to prevent its recurrence.
Malam Sunusi Bature, Director- General, Media and Publicity, announced this on Monday at Government House, Kano.
He announced that 632 suspects have been arrested by the Police for vandalising public buildings during the protests and have been arraigned before various courts.
Bature reiterated that protesters carrying Russian flags were not affiliated with the government.
He said, ”Genuine protesters have submitted their grievances, which would be forwarded to President Bola Tinubu in Abuja for appropriate action.
”The state government’s establishment of the committee demonstrates its commitment to addressing citizen concerns and ensuring accountability for the violence.
”The state government emphasises its commitment to maintaining peace and order, warning that those found guilty of vandalism will be arrested and prosecuted.
”Additionally, the state government plans to provide massive training programs for youths in various trades to promote self-reliance.”
