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.

Work on the Ngalda modern market is near completion. – Engr. Hamidu
By: Yahaya Wakili
In a bid to boost the economy of the state, the work for the construction of the Ngalda modern market in the Fika local government area of Yobe state has reached 95% completion, with the remaining power plant and other pieces to be picked up.
This was disclosed to newsmen in Ngalda by Engr. Abubakar Hamidu, project consultant to Damuli Investment Company Limited, the company handling the project.
He said the market has 96 stores, 144 market lock-up shops, and 64 stalls, and the market also has a mosque, police station, clinic, fire service, meat shops, and other facilities. We were also to provide water supply and reticulation and electrification.
According to Engr. Hamidu, we had additional work on the drainage from the back side of the fence and the front of the market, and we were taking it to the river about 2.75 kilometers away, and we had already covered about a kilometer of both the wall and the drainage.
“The water table is very far because of the elevation here. The river is very close, but if you are coming out from the main town, it is elevated, so we could not get the actual survey. The data they gave us is finished with times.
“We are trying to get the actual date from a water body like registered geology, a geological survey. They gave us data from there. We can be able to think maybe motorized or solar-powered boreholes can give a capacity of maybe 200 to 250 below ground.
“Our challenges are materials; most of the materials we got from far away, so this is our major challenge, and labor mobility also. We have to get some from Gombe, Maiduguri, and some from Damaturu because of the nature of the locality.” Engr. Hamidu said.
He commends the Yobe State government for giving us encouragement, and whatever we ask the government, they support us; they give us. So we are pledging to the government to invest more of such because, as you can see, the market there now is overflooded, and if the government can strategize such kinds of facilities in other vicinities, it will boost the economy of the state as well asprovide job opportunities for the populace.
