AREWA YOUNG LAWYERS FORUM COMMISERATES WITH THE KADUNA BAR AND THE FAMILY OF LATE HARO GANDU, ESQ WHO WAS MURDERED BY BANDITS IN SOUTHERN KADUNA

1. It was with heavy heart that we received the shocking news of the brutal murder of our dear Colleague Haro GANDU, Esq in Kaduna State last weekend. The Late GANDU was a diligent Prosecutor with the Kaduna State Ministry of Justice until his untimely death. He was also an uncle to Mr Isaac Fumen Gandu, the Assistant Secretary, Arewa YLF.

2.The Spate of insecurity in our country is increasingly becoming alarming and worrisome. Mindless killing of innocent souls, kidnapping, banditry and insurgency have in recent time threatened the fragile corporate existence of our dear Nation.

3.The security Architecture of our Country have been overstretched and weakened by the recidivism of the Criminals. We understand that the wife of Mr GANDU and his Son kidnapped along with him and yet to be released from captivity.

4. We call on the Federal Government and the Kaduna State Government to arrest and bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to Justice. Anything short of this will be unacceptable.

5, The Arewa YLF commiserates with the Kaduna bar, the ministry of justice Kaduna State, the immediate family of the deseased. We also commiserate with our colleague, Fumen Isaac Gandu.

6, We pray that his gentle soul rest in perfect peace and may God give his wife and son freedom and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
