The Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, arrived at the Kano State Government House on Monday to condole with the government and families of the 16 victims killed in Uromi, Edo State, last week.

His visit comes amid growing outrage in northern Nigeria over what many see as a targeted attack on traders from the region.

The victims, mostly from Kano and other northern states, were reportedly ambushed and killed in Uromi, a town in Edo’s Esan North-East Local Government Area.

The killings have sparked anger in northern Nigeria, with protests erupting in Kano, Katsina, and parts of Kaduna as citizens demand justice and better security for northerners residing in the South.

In Kano, youth groups and community leaders have accused the Edo State government of not doing enough to prevent such attacks, calling for swift action to apprehend the perpetrators.

During his visit, Governor Monday Okpebholo assured the Kano State government that his administration was working with security agencies to investigate the killings and bring those responsible to justice.

He also expressed sympathy for the bereaved families, emphasizing that violence against any ethnic or religious group must not be tolerated.

His visit comes as pressure mounts on both state and federal authorities to address growing concerns over ethnic tensions and insecurity across the country.
