A pro-Fubara group under the G-60 platform at the weekend warned the Federal Government to steer clear and allow the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadh Sanusi II to reign peacefully.

The pro-Fubara group from all indications had thrown its weight behind former Vice President Atiku Abubakar camp.

The G-60 stressed that the Federal Government should not destabilise the already fragile North-western State by wobbling in the chieftaincy affairs of the Kano Emirate, which is internal and within the purview of the Kano State government authority.

The pro-Fubara G-60 group threw their weight behind the Kano State government for the reinstatement of Emir Sanusi II, whose removal and banishment, it said, was an attack and desecration of the revered ancient traditional institution.

The pro-Fubara group in a statement issued after a closed-door meeting by the Central Steering Committee of the Opposition Coalition attended by legislators from the larger G-60; compromising Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and Labour Party (LP).

The statement jointly signed by Hon. Obi Aguocha (LP) and Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere We members of (G-60) Opposition Coalition met, examined and deliberated on the developments in Kano State regarding the reinstatement of Emir of Kano,Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

“We therefore resolved that the Federal Government should not destabilise Kano State and allow Emir Sanusi reign peacefully as it will be fanning embers of fire for a the Federal Government to wobble into the Chieftaincy affairs of state because it does not fall under its Constitutional authority.

“We want to state unequivocally that we are in full and firm support
of the Kano State Government’s reinstatement of Emir Sanusi whose removal and banishment was an attack and desecration of the revered ancient traditional institution in the first instance and the collection of this anomaly deserves support of all peace and justice loving Nigerians.

“We were taken aback by the alleged role of some top federal security outfits in facilitating the return of Bayero to the palace by providing him with two private jets but since they had denied the claim, let’s give them the benefit of doubt.

“We can not fold our hands and indeed many Nigerians will not just look away and allow the traditional institution which is repository of our cultural heritage trampled upon by anyone or institution using Federal machinery sustained by tax payers money.”

A 15-year-old girl from Groningen in the Netherlands was arrested after her parents, Johan and Mathilda, both 53, were found f@tally stabbed last Thursday, June 18, Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad reported.

The family’s pet golden retriever also suffered stab wounds in the rampage, the Sun reported.

The dog’s condition is unclear.

The girl took images of her slain parents and then shared the disturbing photos with her friends on WhatsApp after the bloody attack, the Telegraaf reported.

“You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife,” one student told the outlet in Dutch.

Local police declined to comment further on the images, but encouraged people to never distribute such images online and report them to the police, the reports said.

The girl reportedly struggled with her identity and often pretended to be a dog, crawling around and barking on all fours with other friends in school corridors.

“She wore a tail, dog ears, and gloves,” another classmate told the outlet. “And sometimes she would make barking sounds.”

Johan and Mathilda’s relatives said in a statement obtained by Algemeen Dagblad that they “can hardly comprehend” the murd£rs.

‘We hope that everyone understands that we are deeply affected by the tragic events surrounding the passing of Johan and Mathilda from Meerstad,” family and friends said in a statement through an aid organization.

“But the support and sympathy we have received from many do us good and are heartwarming.”

An investigation into the slayings remains ongoing.

“CP Ojajuni reiterated the Command’s resolve to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensuring that those responsible are identified, apprehended, and brought to justice,” Police PPRO Oluseyi Babaseyi said in a statement.

The visit, according to police, was to evaluate progress in the investigation into the double murder that has rattled the Owode-Egba community.

Inside, the security guard was found dead at his post. Oyesiku’s body was later discovered inside the apartment. Her Lexus RX300 was missing.

Police now say the vehicle has been secured and will serve as key evidence. “It is worthy of note that the vehicle earlier reported missing from the residence, a Lexus RX300, has been recovered by police operatives during the night hours,” Babaseyi confirmed.

—“Intensive investigation ongoing”–

Ojajuni commiserated with Oyesiku’s family and assured Ogun residents that “all available resources are being deployed to track down the perpetrators.”

For now, no arrests have been announced. But with the car recovered and the CP personally monitoring the case, police say they’re closing in.

Oyesiku, a retired broadcaster with Ogun State Television, was remembered by colleagues as a calm voice on air. Her death, alongside her guard’s, has renewed calls for better security for elderly residents living alone in semi-urban areas. [The Punch report rewritten]
