Who’s To be Blame For This Man’s Death? Police or the Hospital
Who’s To be Blame For This Man’s Death? Police or the Hospital
By: Zagazola Makama
It was a frightening morning. The light of dawn that usually announces the majestic rollout of the beautiful morning sun from its eastern home had fairly cleared the sight of worshippers trickling with ease to the Mosque for the dawn prayer.
As they trickled into the Mairi Kuwait’s Bulama Hala Mosque, little did the Muslim faithful expect to experience perhaps their most frightening sight in recent times.
There was a man laying beside the mosque unconsciously at an obscure corner of the Mosque unnoticed.
He was a man of unknown identity, having no identified family or friends. He had been at the premises of the Mosque for four days, fed by the surrounding community, with no one to claim any relationship with him.
The entire Mosque community was deeply shocked by the sight of the unconscious man.
Who is this man? Where is he coming from? The Imam and some elders of the community decided to report the case to the nearby police station.
Responding to report, the police immediately arrived the scene with their vehicle and carried the unconscious man to the hospital.
Unfortunately, the management of the hospital rejected the man due to the lack of anyone to look after him.
To the utter surprise of the Mairi community, the unconscious man was returned and dumped where he was picked earlier by the police officers.
He subsequently passed away this morning.
As his identity remains unknown, the Imam and some community elders decided to take care of his funeral arrangements as ordained by Islamic rite.
The entire community converged for the funeral rites in a deeply emotive atmosphere as everyone pondered the man’s story.
Was he a traveler, a stranger, or a local struck by some adversity or debilitating hardship of the times?
Suddenly, shortly before the funeral prayer, a man in tears arrived, claiming to be the father of the hitherto unknown dead man, identifying him as his son who left home 10 days earlier, and his continuous search for him led him to the Mosque where he received the shocking news of his death.
Investigation by the community elders confirmed him as the biological father of the dead man, and the corpse was released to him.
May the soul of the deceased rest in Jannah and may Allah reward those that extended kind gestures to the deceased when he needed it the most.
The man has transited to the eternal beyond, but the devastating cruelty and inhumanity of the society, characterized by the actions of the hospital authorities and the police, may continue to live with us till God knows when.

Residents of Kachia call for media attention as bandit attacks escalate
By: Zagazola Makama
Residents of Kachia Local Government Area in Kaduna State have raised concerns over the apparent underreporting of recurring bandit attacks and kidnappings in the area, urging major media houses to take notice.
In a statement signed by Rev. Fr. Agbo Gabriel, the community expressed frustration that despite enduring more than two years without consistent electricity, and relying on solar power where possible, the security challenges in Kachia and surrounding villages have largely gone unreported.
According to the statement, in the early hours of Sunday, September 7, 2025, bandits attacked Wakeh village in Agunu District, killing eight people, injuring many others, and burning homes and property.
The attacks, the statement says, have similarly affected Ankwa, Bishini, Katari, and other villages, leaving communities displaced, traumatised, and in despair.
“The poor people of Kachia town, who used to host internally displaced persons from surrounding villages, are now themselves being targeted,” Rev. Fr. Gabriel said. “Kidnappings from farms and homes are happening daily, yet media coverage remains virtually absent. We are forced to ask: where are the correspondents or reporters of major media houses in Kaduna and Kachia?”
The statement appealed to Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, to urgently address the insecurity in Kachia LGA, highlighting the area’s potential and importance to the state. Residents also called for stronger community-based surveillance, engagement of local leaders, and collective action to protect vulnerable villages.
Rev. Fr. Gabriel emphasised that local vigilance is critical at this time, urging residents to report suspicious activities and support one another in defending their communities.
“Kachia is a land of great potential and does not deserve such neglect,” the statement concluded. “Media houses, we need your attention. Kachia too exists.”
Zagazola report that the Kaduna State had not released any statement regarding the unfortunate incident.
