Barau Vows Justice as Dorayi Suspects Are Arrested

The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, has assured that justice will be served following the arrest of suspects linked to the killing of a housewife and her six children in Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters of Kano.

In a post shared on his Facebook page, Barau described the arrest of three principal suspects by the Kano State Police Command as soothing news and commended the police for their swift action.

He praised the command’s prompt response to the incident, saying the early breakthrough demonstrated the seriousness of the police.

According to a statement released by the police spokesperson, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the suspects arrested are Umar Auwalu, 23, of Sabuwar Gandu Quarters; Isyaku Yakubu, also known as “Chebe”, 40, of Sagagi Quarters; and Yakubu Abdulaziz, also called “Wawo”, 21, of Sabon Gida Sharada Quarters, all in Kano.

Barau said the arrests should mark only the beginning of the process.

He stressed that the police must conduct a full and careful investigation to ensure the suspects are properly prosecuted.

“This is the first leg; the command should conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that these ‘killers’ are prosecuted and brought to book,” he said.

He added that the suspects must face justice, saying, “They must face the full wrath of the law.”

The senator also expressed sympathy to the victims’ family, offering prayers for the deceased and words of comfort to the surviving husband and father.

He prayed that Allah grants the victims Aljannatul Firdaus and gives the husband and father of the children, Haruna Bashir, the strength to endure the loss.
