Shaykh Goni Aisami was the most popular Muslim cleric in Gashu’a, my hometown. He’s killed on Friday by a soldier who claimed to be on duty & begged for a lift from Nguru to Jajimaji town. On their way, the soldier stopped & shot him 3 times and dumped his body to steal his car
But Shaykh Aisami‘s car failed to re-start. The solider summoned his friend who’s also a soldier. Both spent the whole night trying to start the car. In the morning, villagers saw the body and reported to the police who arrested both suspects still struggling to start the car Lcpl John Gabriel & Lcpl Adamu Gideon of 241 Recce Battalion Nguru have confessed to their crimes, said the Yobe State Police Command. Justice must be served swiftly. It’s the Shaykh’s humility & telling truth to power that endeared him to people. May Allah admit him to Jannah.
