Eid El-Kabir: Buni urges the people to pray for the country
By: Yahaya Wakili
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has urged the people of the state to use the Eid-el-Kabir occasion to pray for the state and country.
The governor, in his Sallah message to the people, said, “The peace, security, and prosperity of the country are paramount to every citizen.
“We should therefore intensify prayers to our leaders to be guided aright for increased peace, security, and prosperity in our dear country,” he said.
Governor Buni charged the people of the state and the North East to continue to support and cooperate with the security operatives.
“His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has shown great commitment to fighting insecurity. He should be supported and encouraged to succeed,” Governor Buni said.
He urged the people to promote the virtues of peaceful coexistence, love, and sacrifice as lessons of the Eid.
“These virtues should go beyond the sallah season for us to build a peaceful, strong, and united country.” Buni said.
The governor commended the security agencies for their commitment to ensuring peace reigns across the state.
He also appreciated the people for their resilience in rebuilding their communities and recovering their means of livelihood.
“As the rainy season commences, we should engage in agriculture to produce our food needs.
“Our administration would soon launch a massive agricultural revolution to make agriculture attractive, productive, and profitable to meet our food requirements and export others for economic development.
“You should therefore take advantage of this program and key into the development agenda of the administration.

A group of suspected bandits have launched a brutal revenge attack on Tafoki village in the Fasakari Local Government Area of Katsina State, dumping several corpses at the entrance to the community.
Local sources told Zagazola Makama that the assailants, believed to be mostly in their 20s, arrived in the village on April 9, 2025, and positioned the bodies at the entrance. This attack is reportedly in retaliation for the deaths of three bandits killed by villagers in February 2025, after the criminals attempted to launch an assault on the village.
Among the slain bandits was Goje, a notorious leader who led the failed attack. Sources suggest that the bandits have since been abducting villagers, tying their hands behind their backs, and executing them with gunshots to the head. Afterward, the bandits return the bodies and dispose of them at the village entrance.
As families mourn, they are left to recover the decomposing remains of their loved ones, with some corpses already starting to decompose.
Villagers are left devastated, grappling with the trauma of the violence and the realization that their attempts to defend themselves against the bandits’ previous assault have now turned into deadly retribution.
