The Nation Newspaper How my son was killed by vigilante group - Bauchi district head
The district head of Miri in Bauchi state, Hussaini Ghani, has narrated how his 25-year-old son was allegedly killed by a vigilante group, the Bauchi State Vigilante and Youth Empowerment Agency, also known as ‘Yan Ba Beli’ during the recent Sallah celebration.He spoke at his residence in Bauchi on Monday, April 15, during an interview with our reporter.
“Until what happened to my son, they attacked us firstly at Tashan Babeye, secondly at Sheikh Dahiru’s mosque, and thirdly along the Emir’s Drive towards my house as we were coming back to the house with my procession after paying homage to the Emir. “I’m appealing to the government to arrest the vigilante officials and make a deep investigation on the matter to fish out those behind the killing.”The Nation reports that a violent clash during the recent Sallah celebration in Bauchi had left at least four people dead, including the son of a traditional ruler.
The hunters accompanying the District Head in retaliation were said to have fired their dane guns into the air, thereby hitting two Yan Ba Beli members, leading to further escalation of the incident.
