Yobe North APC senatorial candidate, Hon. Bashir Sheriff Machina has described the brutal killing of a revered Islamic scholar, Sheikh Goni Aisami by unknown persons as not only shocking but a significant loss to muslim ummah in Bade Local Government in particular and Yobe State in general.

Sheikh Goni Aisami, a renowned Islamic scholar based in Gashua was shot dead yesterday night in Karasuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State while on his way to Gashua from Kano.

Machina who received the news of his murder with great shock said, though death is a garb that will be worn by all at the appointed time, the manner in which he was killed clearly  justifies the believe that the killers were out to perpetrate heinous action that can best be described as man’s inhumanity to man.

“Humanly speaking, one wouldn’t have wanted the revered Sheikh to leave the earth now considering the impact he is making particularly on the lives of young people with his incisive Islamic lectures, however, Almighty Allah is the ultimate decider of ‘when for everybody’ and we have no objection to that”. 

“Death should always serve as a lesson of reminder that nobody would live in the World forever”. Machina added.

While praying for the repose of the soul of the deceased, Machina urged security agencies to do everything humanly possible to apprehend the perpetrators of this despicable act.
