The Kano State Independent Students Consultative Forum (KSISCF) has strongly condemned the escalating wave of political thuggery in the state, which it says is resulting in the killing of innocent citizens and creating an environment hostile to education and peaceful coexistence.
The students made the declaration during the formal inauguration of the State Executives and Abba Kabir Yusuf (AKY) Students’ Campus Ambassadors held at the NUJ Press Centre, Kano, on Sunday.
“We categorically debunk and condemn any politician, regardless of party, who is supporting or sponsoring thuggery in Kano State,” the group stated.
“Education cannot grow in an atmosphere of violence and fear. Kano belongs to students, traders, farmers, and law-abiding citizens, and not to political thugs,” they added.
The forum’s chairman, Abubakar Saad, called on security agencies to act decisively: “We call on security agencies to investigate, arrest, and prosecute sponsors of violence without fear or favour.”
The students warned that the continued perpetration of political violence is unacceptable and poses a serious threat to the future of education and development in Kano State.
