The House of Representatives majority leader, Alhasan Ado Doguwa, undergoing trial for alleged homicide in Kano State has attributed his travails to the handiworks of political rivials.

Doguwa said that he was not involved in the shooting of anyone before, during and after the 2023 presidential and the National Assembly election in the state, held on February, 25th.
SOLACEBASE had reported that a magistrate court sitting at Noman’s land in Kano on Wednesday had remanded Alhassan Ado Doguwa on charges brothering on culpable homicide, unlawful possession of fire arm, mischief, public disturbance among others.

One of his media aide who spoke to SOLACEBASE disclosed that his travail was linked to his political victory at the election held last Saturday.





The lawmaker said, he feels very sad and demoralized for being subjected to ‘unfair media trial’ when his own side of the story has not been heard.

“There’s so much propaganda being circulated out there, and when I heard what they are saying about me, I feel so bad. My opponents have occupied the media space with their propaganda, and no one cared to hear my side of the story. It’s very terrible, ‘’Doguwa said through the aide.

“It is important to note that the DPO to whom we reported the planned arson, who was present when the clash between our men and NNPP men happened, was not contacted.
“So far, investigation reports that are available do not contain the position of the men of the police on ground. All that they have are narratives from politicians belonging to the other side. The FIR preferred against me was based on such a one-sided and biased report.
