Families Of Late Magaji Lauwali Yandoto Worry About The Delays In The Judicial Process
The family of the late Magaji Lauwali Yandoto, are still grappling with the painful loss of their beloved father, who was brutally murdered. provide an update on the pursuit of justice and express their continued concerns.
They expressed their appreciation and the sympathy and firm promise made by Governor Dauda Lawal to ensure that anyone found guilty of this heinous crime is brought to justice. However, we have been increasingly worried about the delays in the judicial process.
Previously, we wrote to Governor Dauda Lawal to remind him of his promise, expressing our specific concern that the accused, Retired Col. Rabiu Yandoto, had been granted bail and was moving freely without facing trial. We are therefore relieved to confirm that the Ministry of Justice has now arraigned him before a competent court.
Today, Wednesday, October 15, marked the first court sitting. Regrettably, the government lawyer was absent due to another court engagement, leading the court to adjourn the case until November 20. We note that several human rights organizations and groups attended the proceedings as watching briefs, and we are grateful for their vigilance.
We maintain our full confidence that the government of Governor Dauda Lawal will handle this case fairly, as its sole interest is justice. We also have faith in the presiding judge’s ability to deliver a just verdict, given their esteemed track record. We believe that under the leadership of Governor Dauda Lawal, justice will ultimately be served.
We would like to inform all well-wishers, relatives, and concerned organizations that the accused has been formally arraigned. We sincerely appreciate your continued support and prayers during this difficult time.
