The Kano State Independent Students Consultative Forum (KSISCF) has expressed concern over rising political thuggery, which it says is leading to the continued killing of innocent people, warning that education cannot thrive under such an unfortunate situation.

The students, while condemning the perpetration of political thuggery in the state, described the act as unacceptable and called for immediate action.

The forum made the condemnation at the formal inauguration of the State Executives and Abba Kabir Yusuf (AKY) Students’ Campus Ambassadors held at the NUJ Press Centre, Kano, on Sunday.

“We categorically debunk and condemn any politician, regardless of party, who is supporting or sponsoring thuggery in Kano State.

“Education cannot grow in an atmosphere of violence and fear. Kano belongs to students, traders, farmers, and law-abiding citizens, and not to political thugs.

“We call on security agencies to investigate, arrest, and prosecute sponsors of violence without fear or favour,” the group’s chairman, Abubakar Saad, said.
