Kaaka’s family raises concerns over Ejura committee’s report

The family of the late Ibrahim Mohammed, popularly known as Kaaka, has raised some concerns over the report by the three-member committee of inquiry into disturbances at Ejura.

According to the family, the report is one that is fraught with factual inaccuracies.

 

Brother of the late Kaaka, Nafiu Mohammed said the findings and recommendations of the committee are completely problematic.

“Going through the document, you will realize that there are a lot of factual inaccuracies. But what can we do? It is human beings who sat before four individuals, and they came out with this, so we have to study it. But generally. I have problems with everything about the findings and recommendations.”

“We have lived for centuries and there is no feud among us. We think that in the law court, we can examine some of the testimonies because some of the witnesses knew they were going to peddle falsehood, so they went in camera. So to be frank, we are not happy with the report, it contains a lot of speculations and factual inaccuracies,” he said on Citi FM.
