…for releasing prime suspects.
by Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna
The family of Ahmed Musa, a student who was brutally murdered at Government Technical College Malali, Kaduna State, on February 16, 2025, has expressed “displeasure and disappointment” over the release of prime suspects in the case.
The family also condemns the Kaduna State Government’s actions, and considered it as being neglected and betrayed by the release, which according to them, has hindered justice.
According to a statement personally signed by the biological father of the victim, Musa Mohammed (Publisher of Moonlight) he threatened that he will seek redress at the Federal High Court of Justice, to demand for justice and adequate compensation for the unfair treatment they’ve endured.
“We demand an expedited, transparent, and decisive legal process,” the family states. “We will resist any attempts for political interference or compromise,” he added.
“Indeed, the family is asking for Five Hundred and Sixty Million, Three Hundred Thousand Naira (N560,300,000) as compensation from the Kaduna State Government for releasing the prime suspects.
“Furthermore, the family has also issued threats to raise awareness and organize a mass protest across Kaduna State to highlighting the victim, Ahmed Musa’s unfair treatment, and the neglect they’ve suffered, with the sole aim to see justice.
“The family, therefore, strongly appealed to the public for support in their quest for justice to be done for Ahmed Musa.”
