Although no amount of money can bring back the dead, it can at least
help to offset some burden occassioned by the loss of a loved
one.
Perhaps that was what the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso had in mind when he donated a three-bedroom flat and N1 million each to the families of three members of staff of the Kano Emirate who lost their lives protecting the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, when gunmen attacked his convoy one week ago.

Also benefitting from the governor’s largesses are three other
staff of the Emir, who suffered gunshot wounds during the attack. They
were given the sum of N250,000 each while their medical bills will be
offset by the state government. The governor’s Special Adviser on
Emirate Council Affairs, Alhaji Tijjani Mailafiya Sanka, who announced
the gesture Saturday, said it was made out of Kwankwaso’s sympathy and
concern for the victims who had demonstrated heroism in protecting
Bayero.
Beneficiaries of the houses and N1 million are families of the
Bayero’s orderly, Ado Bala, 34 (Dan Morin Sarkin Kano), the monarch’s
driver, Kabiru Shuaibu, 35 (Barde Sarkin Ruwa) and Ahmadu Magayaki (Maji
Dadin Dan Rimi), the rider of the emir’s horse-driven carriage.
The wounded victims are Garba Zagi, Musa Umar Zagi and Abubakar
Zagi who are assistants to Bayero and two of his wounded sons, Alhaji
Sanusi Ado (Chiroman Kano) and Alhaji Nasiru Ado (Turakin Kano) who
accompanied their father to the United Kingdom for medical check-up
after the attack.

A big mistake to ban okada riders without meaningful provision of alternatives to yet join the teaming graduates without no work. This is further call to a consuming fire...
ReplyDeleteIt is not my wish, but the reality is that it is hard for things to go well if the means of livelihood of people are all held & controlled directly or indirectly by govt without provision for the people & yet the people are subjected to abject poverty & perpetual hunger & also an outright closure of the people strive means of livelihood for survival.
