Governor Yusuf made the demand on Monday during a condolence visit by his Edo State counterpart, Governor Monday Okpebholo, at the Kano Government House. The visit occurred just 48 hours after the remains of the victims were laid to rest in Uromi, Edo State.

The slain hunters were reportedly lynched by a mob last Thursday after being mistaken for kidnappers. The attack took place when a vigilante group intercepted the hunters, who were traveling in a truck. While 16 hunters were killed, 10 others managed to escape.

During the visit, Governor Yusuf condemned the killings, describing the incident as deeply troubling and a stark violation of the sanctity of human life. He emphasized that such acts contradict the fundamental principles of Nigerian society, which he said are rooted in both Islamic and Christian teachings.

“This cowardly act contradicts the fundamental principles of our society, which are deeply rooted in both Islamic and Christian teachings,” Yusuf stated.

Members of the Hausa community in Edo State gathered at a local cemetery to pay their last respects to the victims, who were burned to death in the attack.

Governor Yusuf has urged authorities to ensure justice is served and has insisted on appropriate compensation for the grieving families. The call for action has intensified demands for accountability and protection of citizens across the country.

El-Rufai arrived Sanusi’s abode in Awe at about 12:46 p.m. in a convoy of about six security and official vehicles.

He went straight into the house to have a meeting with the deposed emir.

There was a security barricade around the house preventing observers and journalists from going to meet the former emir.

Sanusi was on Monday sacked as emir by the Kano State Government.

He was then banished to Nasarawa and had his freedom restricted by security officials.

On Friday, a federal court in Abuja ordered the police and the State Security Service to release Sanusi.

El-Rufai appointed him into two offices including as the chancellor of the Kaduna State university.

A statement by presidential spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, said the president never had a history of intervening in the affairs of any state unless such issues are of national importance.

According to the statement, Buhari will only dabble into any brewing issue in a state when such a matter borders on national security because he has a responsibility to comply with provisions of the law in that regard.

It insisted that issues bordering on the appointments and removal of traditional rulers are within the purview of states and hence, linking the president with what happened in Kano is unfair.

“As outlined in the Constitution, the appointment or removal of emirs and other traditional leaders is strictly within the jurisdiction of state governments. It is unfair and disingenuous of opposition politicians to try to link the situation in Kano State to the federal government and the Nigerian President.

“Although a retired General and former Military Head of State, President Buhari clearly understands that under the current democratic dispensation, the government at the centre cannot read instructions or twist the arms of all or any of the 36 state governments making up the federation. They all have their powers specified under the Constitution,” Shehu said.

The presidential spokesman added that Buhari commended the people of Kano State for remaining calm since the dethronement of Sanusi.

He also prayed that God’s will be done at all times in both the emirate and the state.

“President Buhari commends the people of Kano for keeping calm in the past few days of the dethronement announcement.

“He prays that the will of Allah will be done at all times, and that the emirate/state and its people continue to experience progress irrespective of who is on the throne,” he said.
