Technical College Malali, Kaduna,’ with physical signs of brutalisation and
strangulation,” he said.
He appealed for a comprehensive investigation to uncover those behind
his d3ath, and I also call for adequate compensation from those found to have
had a hand in the k!lling of Ahmed Musa.
“Ahmed Musa, being the only son of his mother, his d3ath has dealt a
decisive blow to the family," he added.
Meanwhile, in a petition addressed to the Governor, titled “Urgent
Appeal for Justice in the M8rder of One of Our Member’s Sons (Ahmed Musa) at
Technical School Malali,” the members of the Kaduna Doka Development
Association (KDDA) expressed their sorrow and urgent plea for justice.
“We, the members of the Kaduna Doka Development Association (KDDA),
write to you with profound sorrow and an urgent plea for justice following the
tragic and senseless m8rder of Ahmed Musa, the son of one of our esteemed
members, Alhaji Musa, at Technical School Malali,” the petition reads.
The Chairman of the KDDA, Sani Rabiu Bako, pointed out that “this
heinous act has not only devastated the victim’s family but has also deeply
affected our entire community."
He explained that 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.”
According to him, “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. We
believe that swift action from your office can restore confidence in the
justice system and send a strong message that such acts of violence will not be
tolerated.”

the Commissioner of Police, Commissioner for Education, DSS, and other security
agencies.

authorities to thoroughly investigate this case and ensure that the
perpetrators are apprehended and brought to justice. We urge you to prioritize
the safety and security of our citizens, especially in educational
institutions, where young lives should be nurtured and protected.

that measures be put in place to prevent similar incidents in the future. We
believe that increased security presence, improved surveillance, and enhanced
community policing can go a long way in ensuring the safety of our children and
youth.

confident that with your leadership and commitment to public safety, this
matter can be resolved swiftly and effectively. We are hopeful that you will
