This was contained in a statement signed by his Director-General on Media, Mr Abdu Labaran, and made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Katsina.

“The Katsina State Commission of Enquiry Law, Cap 29, empowers the Governor to constitute such a commission as and when the need arises,” Labaran said.

He explained that the constitution of the judicial commission follows the order by President Muhammadu Buhari directing the disbandment of SARS and the investigation of its alleged excesses and extra-judicial activities.

“That (alleged excesses) attracted persistent criticism, leading to the ongoing protests and counter-protests in some parts of the country,” he said.

Labaran revealed that the commission has Justice Abbas Abdullahi Bawale of the Katsina High Court as Chairman, and Ibrahim M. Daku of the Governor’s Office as Secretary.

The commission has two gender-based representatives from the Civil Society Organisations, one representative of students and one representative of the Human Rights Commission.

Masari made the appeal in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr Audu Labaran, on Thursday in Katsina.

“Having gone through the fasting period in devotion, obedience, charity, perseverance and respect for others, these traits should be a life time habit that should outlive the limited period which the Ramadan fasting was observed,’’ he said.

Masari also urged Nigerians to continue to live in peace with one another and pray for the nation and its leaders.

“The governor praised non-Muslims who became their brother’s keeper by joining in feeding less privileged Muslims in many parts of the country.

“This is exactly the attitude that we should strive to imbibe to make our country great and shame the enemies of Nigeria’s progress,’’ he said.
