The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the killing of the Chief Imam of Mada Jumu’at Mosque, Imam Abubakar Hassan Mada.
In a statement issued by the state party’s publicity secretary, Mallam Yusuf Idris Gusau, the APC demanded the prosecution of those involved in the killing.
The statement expressed deep concern over the incident, describing it as an act of lawlessness that must be addressed promptly.
It called for the perpetrators, suspected to be members of a vigilante group, to be swiftly brought to justice.
According to the statement, “Such acts of lawlessness seem to be taking a different and dangerous dimension with people not formally recognized by law taking the law into their hands by deciding the fate of the people in the state.”
The APC urged the government to take all necessary steps to address the issue of bloodshed, especially the killing of individuals like Sheikh Hassan Mada, whose contributions to the state’s development are invaluable.
The party also appealed to security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and make their findings public to serve as a deterrent to others.
It reiterated its commitment to supporting governments at all levels in the fight against banditry, kidnappings, terrorism, and other criminal activities.
The APC extended its condolences to the Jamaatul Izalatul Biddia waikamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), Zamfara State Council of Ulama, Gusau Emirate Council, the Late Imam’s immediate family, the people of Mada, and the entire Muslim Ummah over the loss.
