Kano, and indeed all Nigerians, deserve to see those responsible for this massacre are brought to justice publicly
The Kano state governor also commended Governor Okpebholo for his engagement with the Hausa community in Edo State to prevent further escalation of tensions and for his commitment to compensating the bereaved families

Furthermore, the Kano State Government extends its sincere gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his prompt directive to security agencies to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators of this atrocity.
The swift intervention by the Federal Government underscores its commitment to the security and protection of all Nigerians, regardless of their state of origin
On their part, the people of Torankawa, where most of the victims hailed from, also expressed their appreciation for the concerted efforts of both the Edo State Government and that of the Federal Government in addressing the matter.
The Governors of Kano and Edo had both committed to ensuring a thorough and transparent justice process to ensure that such an unfortunate incident never occurs again in any part of the country.
