Kano govt donates N18.5m to victims of Ibadan market violence
The Kano government has donated N18.5 million to 185 indigenes of the state who were victims of the Shasha market mayhem in Ibadan.
Garba Mohammed, Kano State Commissioner for Information, who led the state government delegation, gave each of the victims N100,000 on Tuesday in Ibadan.
Other members of the Kano cabinet were also in the delegation.
“We have about 185 people who are indigenes of Kano, affected by this unfortunate incident. We have made our calculations that each and everyone of them will get a N100,000.
“Those of them who have gone to Kano, we will also see and discuss with the governor. We will identify them in Kano and give them the money,” he said.
He said that the delegation had interacted with the victims to know their pains and challenges, promising to inform the governor to relay such to his counterpart in Oyo State.
The commissioner who expressed sadness over the unfortunate incident, called for synergy among the governors as well as security agencies.
“State governors should be able to share their experiences. Our governors were in Ibadan and Oyo. I am also happy that they are having another security meeting in Ogun State.
“So, I think governors from the Southern and Northern part of the country should try as much as possible to ensure that they continue to meet, share experiences,” he said.
