Kano State Government has ordered a full-scale investigation into the death of two students at the Government Boarding Secondary School, Bichi.

The students, identified as Hamza Idris-Tofawa and Umar Yusuf-Dungurawa, reportedly died after an attack by fellow students who allegedly used local metal objects known as “Gwale-Gwale” in what was described as a form of punishment.

The State Commissioner for Education, Haruna Makoda, gave the directive for an immediate and transparent investigation into the incident.

Speaking through the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Bashir Baffa, Makoda stated that the government would ensure justice was served.

The state government describes the incident as an  unfortunate and tragic incident. 

The Kano State Government is committed to conducting a thorough, fair and transparent investigation to uncover the truth and ensure justice for all involved.

According to preliminary reports, the deceased students were allegedly punished by senior students for reportedly committing an offence, leading to their deaths.

Muhammad, who visited the school on behalf of the ministry, cautioned the students against taking the law into their own hands.
