The grieving mother of 16-year-old Ahmed Musa, a student of Government Technical College, Malali, has called on the authorities to deliver justice for her son who was found brutally murdered within his school premises on February 16, 2025.
Ahmed, an SS2 student, was discovered lifeless with his hands and legs tied, sparking outrage and sorrow across Kaduna North Local Government Area. Nearly two months after the chilling discovery, his family says justice has been slow and agonising.
On Tuesday, the bereaved mother stormed the Chief Magistrate Court in Kabala Doki, Kaduna, accompanied by relatives and sympathisers, demanding accountability and expressing deep frustration with what she described as government neglect.
“I want the public to know that no matter what, I, the mother of late Ahmed Musa, won’t rest until I get justice,” she said tearfully. “Looking at how the murder case is being handled, it’s as if the Kaduna State government and the Nigerian Police want to frustrate our pursuit of justice.”
She accused the state government of abandoning the family since the tragic incident occurred and vowed to mobilise mass action if concrete steps were not taken.
“We will organise a mass protest across the state. We have started contacting different women’s organisations. We will also proceed to Berekete, the Human Rights Radio, until justice is achieved,” she declared.
The aggrieved mother also appealed to human rights organisations such as Amnesty International to intervene and ensure the case does not end in silence.
Meanwhile, Justice Naheed Ibrahim Abdulhamid of the Chief Magistrate Court in Kabala Doki has once again adjourned the murder trial to May 27, 2025.
