….. Calls for immediate investigation, respect for human rights
The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) hereby brings to the attention of Nigerians and the world at large that the Nigeria Police have shot dead a young man, Salisu Player, somewhere around Kurna in Dala Local Government Area of Kano state.
This is contained in a statement issued ,Acting National Chairman ,Abba Kawu Ali in Kano on Wednesday.
He is one of the three people shot while the others are in critical conditions. The incident occurred yesterday evening during a peaceful protest.
The NNPP has always asked the citizens to do their protest in a peaceful manner and the protest around Kurna where Salisu Player was shot, though spontaneous, was not different.
It would appear that men of the Nigeria Police are ill-trained for handling even peaceful protests as we regret the recorded death which is painful and unfortunate.
We commiserate with friends and family of the deceased as we urge all the people of Kano to remain calm and restrained from acting outside the rule of law.
