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.
