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.

Nation mourns as brave Commanding Officer, six soldiers fall after repelling attack in Monguno
Nation mourns as brave Commanding Officer, six soldiers fall after repelling attack in Monguno

Grief and solemn reflection have trailed the tragic loss of a Commanding Officer and six gallant soldiers of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), whose lives were cut short shortly after successfully repelling a terrorist attack in Monguno, Borno.
In the late hours of April 12, troops of Sector 3, Joint Task Force (North East), came under an isolated infiltration attempt at Charlie 13 location. With courage and determination, the soldiers engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle, eventually forcing them to flee and securing the area.
But even in victory, tragedy struck. Driven by an unyielding sense of duty and deep concern for his men, the Commanding Officer chose to move forward, towards the very danger others would avoid, to personally assess the situation on ground. It was a decision that reflected the very essence of true leadership: to lead from the front, to share in the risks, and to stand shoulder to shoulder with his troops.
In that moment of selfless courage, his vehicle encountered an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), killing him and six of his men. Their loss is not just a statistic, it is a profound human tragedy.
They were fathers, brothers, sons, and comrades. They were men who wore the nation’s uniform with pride, who stood in the face of danger so others could sleep in peace. They did not retreat when confronted with terror; instead, they stood firm, defended their ground, and ultimately gave everything.
The silence they leave behind echoes loudly across the ranks.
Operation HADIN KAI, in a statement by its Media Information Officer, Lt.-Col. Sani Uba, expressed deep sorrow, describing the fallen officer as a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to duty. Their ultimate sacrifice, the statement noted, will forever remain etched in the memory of the Armed Forces and the nation they served with honour.
As the country mourns these heroes, their bravery lives on not only in the victory they secured that night, but in the enduring reminder that freedom and security are often paid for with the highest price.
