“We then wonder how can a man be a judge in his own case as his son is involved in the abduction of my late brother”? he asked It is against this background,”we requested the state Commissioner of police, who is a God fearing and a humane police officer of high repute to order for proper investigation into the extral judicial killing of our younger brother who is just 29 years on this earth”.
“We know the police force under the inspector general of Police IGP Usman Baba Alkali will not allow extral judicial killing under his watch,hence this petition as we know there is a conspiracy to suppress us by those who think they are above the law and can kill or murder law abiding citizens and go Scot free .
” We as Muslim would have let this matter go, but we noticed that this people felt there is no law and they can just kill this promising young boy and nothing will happen .For a long time similar killing has taken place unchallenged hence we are seeking for Justice.
He then requested for independent investigation to be conducted on the remote and immediate course of the killing of their brother Nasir Sani on the order of Mr Loko the pproprietor of P- Garden in
