Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has condemned the continuous attacks and killings of religious scholars and innocent citizens by gunmen in the country.
Kwankwaso made his feelings known while mourning the death of Sheikh Yahaya Masussuka.
He described the passing of the cleric as a sad development that adds to the growing concerns about insecurity in society.

The former governor strongly condemned the senseless violence against citizens, stressing that the continued loss of lives to insecurity is completely unacceptable.
Kwankwaso urged the government to take urgent and decisive action to protect the people and bring the perpetrators to justice. He emphasized the need to restore lasting peace and security across the country.
He concluded by extending his heartfelt condolences to the family, students, and associates of the late Sheikh, as well as the entire Muslim community.
