Blood-Thirsty Demons Of Zamfara (II): Killing For Fun, Kidnapping For Ransom
"The bandits were enraged by Lawal’s attempt to resist them from gaining entrance into the room. So, when they shot him, they took him along with them to watch him draw his last breath. Hours later, Hadiza received a call that her husband was dead. They killed him and phoned her to inform her of their dastardly deed."
A common thread of monumental loss runs through the stories of every emirate visited by the brutal bandits. They are the footprints left behind in these communities to say ‘we were once here’. These pains and losses, most often, change the course of the residents’ lives; they are indelible scars they will bear to their graves.
Hadiza and Fatima fled Kayayi village in Shinkafi LGA, after the murder of their husband, Yussuf Lawal. The two women have become inseparable since they left their village for the city. They depend on each other for strength to navigate this new world they now live.
The two women kept a solemn countenance. It was obvious that adapting to the world where they had no male figure to guide, guard and provide for them was strange but they had no choice; seven children were depending on them for daily survival.
Lawal, their husband, was murdered in cold blood by the bandits who routinely launched attacks in Kayayi village.
“What happened was the bandits knocked our door,” she begins. “My husband stood up and locked the door but they used their saw blade to cut the door down. They drew him out and shot him.”
The bandits were enraged by Lawal’s attempt to prevent them from gaining entrance into the room. So, when they shot him, they took him along with them to watch him draw his last breath. Hours later, Hadiza received a call that her husband was dead. After killing him, they phoned her to inform her of their dastardly deed. They did that only to increase her pains, his body was also not released to her neither could anyone risk going in to pick his co**se — that would be su***de mission.
As Hadiza narrated the tragic incident that flung them into a totally different life, Fatima, the younger wife, shook her head in regret.

The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal will on Wednesday ( today) hold a hearing on the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to challenge the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress at the February 23, 2019 election.
A five-man panel headed by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, is to preside over the first sitting coming up after the petitioners filed their case on March 18.
The hearing holds 9am.
A member of the petitioners’ legal team, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), confirmed to our correspondent on Tuesday that the proceedings would hold on Wednesday but could not give details of what the hearing would be about.
Ozekhome, who said he was heading to a meeting of the petitioners’ legal team, told our correspondent that he would only be able to give more details about the anticipated proceedings after the meeting.
But it was learnt from other sources that the Wednesday’s proceedings were likely to be one of the pre-hearing sessions of the PEPT that would precede the hearing of the main petition.
As of Wednesday, it was learnt that the respondents – the Independent National Electoral Commission, Buhari and APC – had yet to file their defence, although they are still within the time to do so.
The petitioners had on March 18, 2019 filed their petition, which sought to rely on 50 sets of documents.
INEC had on February 27, 2019 declared that Buhari won the election with 15,191,847 votes to defeat his closest rival, Atiku, whom it said polled 11,262,978 votes._punch
