#EndBadGovernance Protest: Kano commission seeks public support

The Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up to investigate the August #EndBadGovernance protests in Kano has called for the support of the media and public to discharge its mandate.
Its chair, retired Justice Lawan Mohammed, made the call during the commission’s inaugural meeting at the Kano High Court on Thursday.
The commission’s terms of reference included identifying the remote and immediate causes of the protest, determining individuals, groups, or institutions responsible and assessing the extent of damage to property, loss of lives and valuables.
The commission is also mandated to recommend measures to prevent future occurrences and provide additional recommendations as necessary.
It should also adhere to the Kano State Commission of Inquiry Law (Section 8) and submit its report to the governor within one month.
Mr Lawan urged the public to provide relevant evidence and facts to aid the commission’s report and recommendations.
He urged the media to maintain objectivity and fairness in reporting the commission’s proceedings.
The chairman advised them to seek clarification from the commission’s leadership before publishing their reports.
In their remarks, members of the commission pledged to be impartial and solicited the support of the state governor to discharge their duty.
