Group Flays Yekini Nabena Over Claim North-West Governor Behind Banditry, Killings

Loud shouts of “run, run, run!” woke up heavy-eyed Jonathan Badamosi from his sleep around 6am on March 11, 2019. “Fetch your sister and run now!” his mother screamed.
Hurriedly, Badamosi, 11, woke up his five-year-old sister, Muradi (a Hausa word meaning ‘My Desire’), and on his mother’s instruction, they ran out from the house.
Badamosi did not ask his mother any questions about what was happening and where he and his sister should flee. First, there was no time to do that, and second, he already knew what was happening. He just needed to run somewhere where he and his sister could escape from the onslaught of the rampaging suspected Fulani militiamen.
