“Political violence is a major set back to democracy worldwide. It leads to lost of lives and property, as well as mistrust on the part of the people and those in power.

“The disturbing cases of Political killings especially in 2023 must not be swept under the carpet, this is to ensure we prevent future occurrences.”

The Commission on political violence under Justice Zuwaira Yusuf, will look into cases of Political violence and missing persons from 2015-2023.
