Five Islamic Clerics Abducted After Attending Prayer For Tinubu's Re-election

SaharaReporters learnt that the victims reportedly include Imam Yahuza, the First Jumma'at Imam in Dogon Madacci; Magawata Abdullahi, the Second Jumma'at Imam in Dogon Madacci; Malam Shehu Dakko; Imam Bala Fagon; and Na'ibi Tasi'u of Tungar Nagudai. Sources said the clerics had travelled from communities in Bakura and Talata Mafara LGAs to attend the prayer gathering.

Their reported abduction has raised fresh concerns over the worsening security situation in Zamfara, particularly as the incident allegedly occurred in connection with a gathering at the residence of Yari, a former governor, serving senator and Director-General of Tinubu's 2027 presidential campaign.

The identities of the abductors and their whereabouts remained unclear as of the time of filing. Security agencies have yet to issue an official statement; Zamfara State police spokesman Yezid Abubakar has not responded to messages and calls. Source: saharareporters.com
