Gwarzo described the killing as a deeply disturbing and heartbreaking act, emphasizing that no human life should be taken due to a person's opinions, criticism or political views. Speaking through his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, Gwarzo labeled the murder as \"heinous, barbaric and totally condemnable,\" and called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing, the identification of the perpetrators, and their prosecution. The incident occurred inside Dan Shagamu's residence in Gaida, an event that has sparked concerns among residents and raised questions about the safety of those who use social media to express their opinions.

The NDC candidate also extended his condolences to the deceased's family, friends, and associates, urging them to remain patient as the authorities conduct a comprehensive investigation.
