Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has approved an extensive welfare package for the father of a woman and her six children brutally killed in the Chiranci Dorayi area of Kano metropolis.
The package includes sponsorship for Hajj and Umrah, provision of a new house, and comprehensive welfare support from the state government.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday in Kano by the governor’s spokesperson, Mr Sanusi Bature.
Governor Yusuf announced the measures during a condolence visit to the bereaved family, where he expressed deep sorrow over the killings and assured them of the government’s continued support.
He also directed the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to fast-track the prosecution of suspects arrested in connection with the massacre.
