The Kaduna State Government has welcomed the arr£st and arraignment of 24 suspects in connection with the mob k!lling of a woman in the Maraban Jos area of the state, describing it as a significant step toward justice and the rule of law.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Commissioner for Information and Culture Ahmed Maiyaki commended the Kaduna State Police Command for its swift response and professionalism in bringing the suspects before the court.
He said Governor Uba Sani's administration strongly condemns mob violence, jungle justice and all forms of extra-judicial action, stressing that no individual or group has the right to usurp the responsibilities of law enforcement agencies and the judiciary.
"The rule of law remains the foundation of every democratic society, and no grievance, allegation or suspicion can justify the taking of a person's life outside the framework of the law," Maiyaki said.
He described the incident as a tragic reminder of the consequences of lawlessness and urged residents to report suspected criminal activities to appropriate security agencies rather than resorting to self-help.
The commissioner expressed confidence in the ongoing investigation, noting that the police command had indicated that more than 100 additional suspects were still being investigated for their alleged roles in the incident.
Maiyaki also extended condolences to the family of the deceased and called on residents to remain peaceful and cooperate with security agencies.
"The sanctity of human life must be respected at all times. Kaduna State will continue to stand firmly for justice, peaceful coexistence and adherence to the rule of law.
We must collectively reject violence and vigilantism in all its forms," he said.
