In pursuance of the rights of the rescued 9 kids, who were allegedly kidnapped and later found in far away Anambra state, the Kano state governor Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has instituted a Commission of Inquiry, under the chairmanship of Retired Justice Wada Umar Rano, that would be inaugurated on Thursday 31st October, 2019.
Parts of the Terms of Reference given to the Commission include "To conduct an inquiry into cases of missing persons in Kano State from the year 2010 to date and to procure all such evidence, written or oral, and to examine all such persons as witnesses as the commissioners may think it necessary or desirable to procure or examine." Terms of Reference paved way for the Commision "To summon any person in Nigeria to attend any meeting of the commissioners to give evidence or produce any document or other thing in his possession and to require the evidence (whether written or oral) of any witness to be made on oath or declaration, such oath or declaration." Other Terms include issues like "To admit or exclude the public or any member of the public or press from any hearing of the commission, to prepare comprehensive data of missing persons in Kano State within the period and circumstances in which they disappeared,
to find out both immediate and remote causes of cases of missing persons and to prepare and submit a written report including findings and recommendations to the Government of Kano State." It could be recalled that recently, the Nigerian Police Force, Kano State Command, under the able leadership of CP Ahmed Iliyasu, uncovered cases of missing children in Kano State.
A total of 9 persons (aged between 2 – 10 years) were kidnapped, out of which, 8 were sold in faraway Anambra State. Some of the victims stayed as captives for over five years in Anambra State, losing their identities.
