Thursday, August 22, 2024 There is Chaos in Sabon Birni, Sokoto State, as residents riot over the murder of Alhaji Isa Bawa, the emir of Gobir in Gawata town of Sokoto state.
Bawa was abducted along with his son
on his way to his native town of Sabon Birni near the border with Niger after
attending a meeting in the regional capital Sokoto.
After three weeks in captivity and a
video released to plead with the Nigerian government to help secure his
release, Bawa died in captivity.
Following his death, youths in Sabon Birni
have taken to the streets to burn tyres to express their grievances. This led
to a clash between them and police officers who tried to quell the riot.
See a video from the scene below.
