Edo State Yet to Compensate Families of Uromi Killings Victims 11 Months After Incident

The article highlights the delay in compensating families of victims of the Uromi killings in Edo State, where sixteen hunters from Kano State were attacked in March 2025. Despite promises made by Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo during a condolence visit to Torankawa, accompanied by Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, no compensation has been paid nearly a year later.

Families of the victims, including Ibrahim Isa and Hauwa U. Isa, express their anguish over the lack of compensation and support, despite assurances from both state governments.

Malam Bala Duts, whose son Amadu was among those killed, emphasizes the need for justice and compensation for the families. The Kano State government spokesperson, Sunusi Batur Dawakin Tofa, assures that they will not let the issue be forgotten and will continue to press for justice.

The Edo State Commission is urged to provide information on the compensation strategy promised by Governor Okpebholo.
