Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State on Tuesday presented three million naira to the families of those who lost their lives in a recent clash between Keke Napep riders and soldiers in Gashua.
The deputy governor, Idi Barde Gubana, represented Buni and led a delegation to the Emir of Bade in Gashua to express condolences to the emir, community, and relatives of the deceased.
In addition to this, Governor Buni allocated one million naira for the treatment of injured individuals admitted to Dala Orthopedic Hospital in Kano and Specialist Hospital in Gashua, with the assurance that the state government would cover their medical expenses.
During the visit, Gubana urged youths not to resort to violence and to respect authority, offering prayers for the deceased and strength for their families.
The Emir of Bade, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Suleiman, appreciated the deputy governor’s visit and suggested removing a stop-and-search checkpoint in his domain.
