Mangun killing: Uba Sani vows to get justice for victims
Governor Uba Sani has vowed that he will pursue justice for the travellers who were killed by a mob at Mangun, in Mangu local government of Plateau State, on their way to a wedding.
The Governor of Kaduna State said that the Allah had placed the protection of lives and property on him, adding that he would not rest on his oars until he discharges this responsibility.
Governor Sani made this pledge in Unguwan Dantsoho, Sabon Gari ward in Kudan local government of Kaduna State, where he performed the ground breaking for the road construction to Hunkuyi Junction, up to Bassawa, linking Kudan and Sabon Gari local governments.
It will be recalled that 13 travellers from Kaduna State were waylaid and killed at Mangun, on their way to a wedding at Quáan Pan local government in Plateau State last June. Eleven of the deceased were from Unguwan Dantsoho village.
The Governor recalled that he had promised to give financial assistance to the families of those who lost their lives and provide houses for them, which he has fulfilled.
He also said that the people had complained of lack of road when he came for the condolence visit, adding that that was why he was performing the ground breaking for the 6 kilometre road.
According to the Governor, Kudan local government is one of the 12 area council that had not benefited from any road construction in the last 12 years, adding that politicians from the area should be ashamed of themselves.
Governor Sani also promised to construct a hospital in Unguwan Dantsoho village and the project will commence as soon as possible. He also pledged to provide financial assistance to women.
‘’Some politicians are good in just appearing on television, claiming that their administration had accrued several billions but there is nothing to show on ground. We are not a government of noise makers.
‘’When I assumed office, I promised to take development to both urban and rural areas because the revenue of Kaduna State does not belong to city dwellers alone,’’ he added.
The Governor commended the people of the area for being peaceful, pleading with them to maintain this attitude because development can only thrive where there is peace.
