Governor Nasiru El-Rufai of Kaduna State has directed security agencies to investigate the lynching of three suspected bandits’ informants in Zangon Aya village, Igabi Local Government Area of the state.

The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, made the disclosure in a statement issued to newsmen on Tuesday in Kaduna.

He said the directive followed a report by security agencies that a man, his wife, and son were lynched through mob action in the community on Monday.

“The mob action was in response to the suspects’ alleged collaboration with bandits, especially in relation to recent kidnappings in the area.

“After the killings, the mob also looted and burnt their home,” Aruwan stated.

The commissioner said the governor was sad and deeply worried over the violent action and strongly condemned the extra-judicial killings.

He stressed that legitimate procedures should always be adopted in confronting suspicions of criminality, as the destructive practice of self-help would only result in greater harm.
