A high-level committee established by Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, headed by his Deputy Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, traveled to Edo State on Thursday to investigate the recent killings in Uromi Village.
This tragic event, which took place last month, has escalated tensions within the affected community.
According to Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu, the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, the committee’s mission is to conduct a fact-finding investigation and promote peace in the area.

The committee comprises notable individuals, including the Emir of Rano, Ambassador Mohammad Isa Umar; the Commissioners for Religious Affairs, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Special Duties, and Women Affairs; and the Chairman of Bunkure Local Government Area, along with other high-ranking officials.
Shu’aibu explained that the committee was formed in response to widespread public outrage and increasing concern regarding the violent attacks in Uromi, which resulted in the loss of several lives and the displacement of numerous residents, including individuals originally from Kano State who were residing in the area.
Speaking at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport before their departure, Deputy Governor Gwarzo reaffirmed the committee’s dedication to achieving justice, peace, and reconciliation.
“Our mandate is clear – to investigate, to consult and to recommend sustainable solutions. This is not just a fact-finding mission, but a peace-building initiative aimed at restoring confidence and preventing further violence.
“The tragic incident, which occurred last month, has heightened tensions in the affected community. As part of its assignment, the committee is scheduled to hold consultations with the Edo State Governor, heads of security agencies, traditional rulers, and civil society organizations during its week-long stay.
“This initiative forms part of a broader intervention by the Northern Governors Forum to demonstrate solidarity, promote national unity and respond proactively to rising insecurity across the country,” he said.
