Meanwhile, the Kaduna Doka Development Association has petitioned Governor Senator Una Sani and appealed for Justice in the Murder of the late Musa.
The letter, which the chairman of the Association signed, Sani Rabiu Bako, reads in parts; ” We, the members of the Kaduna Doka Development Association, write to you with profound sorrow and an urgent plea for justice following the tragic and senseless murder of Ahmed Musa, the son of one of our esteemed members Alhaji Musa, at Technical School Malali.
“This heinous act has not only devastated the victim’s family but has also profoundly affected our entire community. On 16th February 2025, Ahmed Musa of Technical School Malali was brutally murdered under circumstances that remain unclear but have left his family and friends in shock and disbelief.
“The loss of such a promising young life is a tragedy that no family should have to endure, and we are compelled to seek your intervention to ensure that those responsible for this crime are brought to justice”.
The Chairman said, “Our association has always worked tirelessly to promote peace, unity, and development within our community. We have strived to create a safe environment for all our members and their families. However, the recent events have shaken our faith in the safety of our surroundings.
