The Kano State Commissioner of Education, Dr. Ali Haruna Makoda, has ordered a thorough investigation into the deaths of two students at Government Boarding Secondary School Bichi, Hamza Idris Tofawa and Umar Yusuf Dungurawa, who were allegedly attacked by fellow students using local metal objects.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Alhaji Bashir Baffa Muhammad, assured that the investigation would be fair and transparent, promising that justice would be served for all parties involved.
He cautioned students to be vigilant and avoid taking the law into their own hands, advising them to report any concerns to the school authority.
The incident reportedly followed a decision by senior students to punish the deceased for allegedly committing an offense.
The Permanent Secretary sympathized with the families of the deceased, extending condolences on behalf of the Kano State Government and praying for the souls of the deceased to rest in peace.
The Director of Secondary Schools, Abbas Abdullahi, expressed deep concern over the incident, emphasizing that students must not misuse their privileges and take the law into their own hands.
The families of the deceased have called for justice, with a relative of one of the students, Malam Ibrahim Yusuf Dungurawa, narrating how the family received the news of the incident.
The father of the second deceased student, Malam Idris Garba Tofawa, accepted the tragedy as the will of God but pleaded with authorities to take appropriate action and ensure justice prevails.
The Kano State Government has promised to leave no stone unturned in uncovering the truth behind the tragic incident.
