The new chairman of Karai-Karai in politics in Yobe State, Alhaji Adamu Abdu Chillariye, has called on his people to unite themselves and support the present administration in the state under the able leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni CON, CONM.
Alhaji Adamu Chillariye, the former state chairman of APC and now the adviser on governmental affairs, disclosed this in an interview with Newsng shortly after receiving the Karai-Karai delegations from Gujba and Gulani local government areas while paying him a congratulations visit in Potiskum.
He said the Karai-Karai peoples from Potiskum, Nangere, Fika, and Fune local government areas elected him as the chairman in politics in Yobe state, adding that leadership is not easy, and despite the challenges to it, he will try his best to see that justice prevails and is done among his people.
The former APC chairman appealed to Karai-Karai first: let us be patient with each other, unite ourselves, live in peace with our neighbors, and give our maximum support and cooperation to His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni CON, as well as support his policies and programs of his administration.
Chillariye calls on them to engage in business and skills acquisitions to be self-reliant. Don’t depend solely on politics; try to engage yourself in business no matter how small it is. Adding that, I will do my best to draw the attention of our business moguls to assist our children who get the admission but don’t have the means to pay the school fees.
“You know, leadership is very difficult, but I will try my best and call on the people that I am a human being like everybody. If I make a mistake, please draw my attention and tell me the truth. Nobody is above making a mistake, and in my life, I don’t want to lie. Always tell me the truth no matter how painful it is; I would know how to handle it. Inshallah,” he said.
He emphasizes his calls for unity and patience among ourselves, and therefore let us support His Excellency, the Executive Governor Mai Mala Buni CON Chiroman Gujba, and also let us wait until what Governor Mai Mala Buni will tell us to do.

The death toll from Friday’s multiple motor accident in Katsina-Ala, Benue State, has risen to nine, while four injured victims are currently receiving treatment in hospital, officials have confirmed.
The crash, which occurred on the Katsina-Ala axis, involved several vehicles after an alleged deliberate obstruction of the expressway by two members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
Sources told Zagazola Makama that the two drivers – Stephen Kahungur, of Gbor community, who drove a Toyota car with registration number Benue MKD 569 TJ, and Saater Vihiga, of Ammafu Village, who drove a Toyota Carina with registration number Benue AX 896 MKD – were arrested for allegedly blocking the highway and causing the fatal chain collision.
Also arrested was the Chairman of the NURTW Katsina-Ala branch, Aja Vanger, who was said to have mobilised the suspects to block the road.
The three suspects are currently in custody.
Authorities say investigation into the circumstances surrounding the obstruction and the fatal crash is ongoing.

Police Scorpion squad arrests two notorious kidnappers, recovers three vehicles in zamfara
By: Zagazola Makama
Operatives of the Scorpion Squad have arrested two notorious kidnappers and armed robbers in Zamfara State and recovered three suspected stolen vehicles.
The operation, coordinated by ACP Victor O. Godfrey, was carried out on Nov. 25 following what security sources described as actionable digital reconstructive intelligence.
The suspects, Dalhatu Bashiru (aka Yellow), 38, and Chidiebere Nwadigo Emmanuel, 34, both ex-convicts, were apprehended for their alleged involvement in multiple kidnapping and car-snatching operations across several states.
Recovered from the suspects were: A black Toyota Corolla, Reg. No. JUX 578 AA, A grey Toyota Corolla, Reg. No. JUX 890 AA, an ash-coloured Toyota Camry (Pencil Light), Reg. No. APR 459 AE
According to sources, the suspects confessed to participating in several high-profile criminal operations, including the Jan. 18, 2024 abduction of Mr. Segun Akinwumi O. near Rita Lori Hotel, Garki, Abuja.
In that incident, the victim was kidnapped from his residence and taken toward Kano. While en route, the gang allegedly dispossessed him of his ATM cards in Kaduna, where ₦500,000 was transferred from his bank account.
Luck ran out for the gang after they were intercepted at a filling station in Kaduna. Three members escaped, but Chidiebere, Dalhatu (Yellow), and another suspect, now at large were identified. Their accomplice, Chinanza Philip Okoye Michael, was arrested, the victim rescued unhurt, and his vehicle recovered.
Investigations further revealed that the arrested suspects had previously been apprehended in November 2023 for similar offences and arraigned at the High Court, Kwali, but allegedly returned to crime while on court bail.
Police operatives also recovered three Beretta pistols from the suspects.
Security authorities said the suspects confessed to snatching over 20 exotic SUVs within Abuja.
Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining fleeing suspect.
