…Urges President Tinubu and Other Authorities to Consider the Association’s Road Map for Ending North West Conflicts
By: Michael Mike
Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has condemned the brutal murder of the Emir of Gobir, His Royal Highness Alhaji Isa Bawa by bandits in Sokoto State
The association in a statement signed by its National President, Hon. Khalil Mohammed Bello called on President Bola Tinubu, the Defence Minister, and the National Security Adviser to urgently consider the association’s proposed roadmap for resolving the conflicts in the North West region.
Bello said the tragic event, where the Emir was kidnapped and killed despite a ransom payment of over N60 million, stands as a grave concern for all Nigerians, adding that the act of kidnapping, killing, and demanding ransom is utterly condemnable and unacceptable in a 21st-century Nigeria.
Bello said KACRAN’s condemnation is rooted in the fact that: “His Royal Highness Alhaji Isa Bawa was a respected monarch who served the people selflessly for 45 years, promoting peace, unity, and mutual understanding across Nigeria and beyond.
“He was committed to fostering peace, even at the time of his capture, as he was en route to Sokoto for a peace mission.
“As an elderly and respected figure, he deserved dignity and respect, not humiliation and violence.
“The collection of ransom after his murder further underscores the atrocity, and the refusal to return his body for a proper Islamic burial compounds the crime.”
KACRAN also condemned the circulation of a video showing the Emir pleading for help, which highlights the lack of humanity shown by his captors.
Bello said in the light of these events, “we urge the Sokoto State and Federal governments to act swiftly in bringing the perpetrators to justice. Restoring confidence in the government’s ability to protect its citizens is paramount.
“We call upon the bandits to cease their criminal activities, reminding them that justice will ultimately prevail through law enforcement or divine intervention.”
Bello added that: “We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the Emir, the people of Sokoto State, and all Nigerians. We pray for Almighty Allah to grant him eternal peace and give his family strength in this difficult time.”
