More details have emerged on the death of Sheikh Goni Aisami, a Yobe cleric, who was gunned down this weekend.

According to DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, spokesman of the Yobe Police Command, two suspects who claimed to be soldiers attached to 241 Recce Model Battalion, Nguru, were behind the tragic incident.

He said the incident occurred at about 10 p.m. on Friday after Aisami gave one of the suspects a lift.

The police spokesperson stated that Aisami was driving his car to Gashua from Nguru, when the principal suspect who was in mufti and carrying a camp bed, pleaded with him for a lift to Jaji-Maji.

“On approaching Jaji-Maji, the cleric stopped the car to urinate,” he said, adding that as soon as he returned to continue the journey, the principal suspect brought out an AK-47 and shot him twice to death.

Abdulkarim further stated that the suspect tried to flee with the deceased’s car but failed, as it got stuck in a mud and the vehicle failed to start.

“He put a call through to the second suspect, who drove another vehicle to the scene. Unfortunately for him, his drive shaft broke.

“The two suspects then requested for help from a vigilance group in Jaji-Maji. When the group arrived the scene to tow the broken down vehicles, incidentally Aisami’s body was found at the scene,” the police spokesman said.

Abdulkarim added that the vigilance group later drew the attention of the police to the incident which led to the arrest of the suspects.

He noted that the police recovered the gun and the two cars, adding that effort was ongoing to confirm the identity of the suspects.

Abdulkarim said the suspects would be prosecuted after completion of investigation.

Meanwhile, Governor Mai Mala Buni has expressed sadness over the murder of the Sheikh.

Buni, in a statement issued in Damaturu by his Director-General Press and Media Affairs, Alhaji Mamman Mohammed, described the circumstances surrounding the murder as sad, regrettable and most unfortunate.

“The alleged circumstances surrounding the death is most unfortunate and will be investigated thoroughly. Government will ensure that every detail is investigated and anyone found wanting, will face the full wrath of the law. The state government will work closely with the security agencies to unravel every detail to ensure justice is done,” he said.

The governor condoled with the family of the deceased, the people of Bade local government area and the entire state over the death of Aisami.

Buni called on them to remain calm and law abiding as investigation was ongoing and would be pursued to its logical conclusion.

He prayed to Allah for the repose of the soul of the deceased and give his immediate family and the entire people of the state, the fortitude to bear the loss.(NAN)

Sheikh Muhammad Goni Aisami, an Islamic Scholar, was shot dead by one soldier named John Gabriel he gave a lift in the Scholar's car and later called his friend Adamu Gideon with Recca Battalion 241 to help him convey the car to safety but the car stopped working and could not move.

The two soldiers have been apprehended and are now with the Army authority in Damaturu after confessing that they killed the Scholar to bolt with his vehicle, the car in question Honda 2006 model.

Imagine a Christian soldier killed an Islamic preacher who assisted him with a lift.
Meanwhile, Vanguard Newspaper had reported earlier that the scholar was killed by gunmen.

CAN suddenly mute on this. Imaging the other way round, a pastor being killed by muslim soldier after assisted him with a lift. Even UN, USA and UK will hear CAN.

May Allah be pleased with his soul and grant him the highest level of jannatul firdaus. Amin.

APC and their janjaw£ed way of reasoning. Are the soldiers working for church or Nigerian army?

APC military are killing innocent people while they leave terrorists to continue to wreck havoc.


Is CAN in charge of Nigerian army?

I even thought it was sheik gumi
Rest in peace sir

God pls protect us from this criminals

Oh, this is terribly sad....


Those guys should be executed asap

This story isn't complete, there is a behind the scene.

Hmmm

This is unacceptable, how can a whole Shiek be killed just like that?

I suspect ipob elements are behind this tragic incident, may Allah grant him Jannah-Al-Firdaus.

Non of my bisnes

See where his good deed has led him.. human beings are evil. Someone helped you and you stabbed him in the back. That's crūel!!

Yoooo! Got you littt

After the initial lie that he was killed by Christian soldiers, now it's local criminals behind the murder.

I hope urchins were not behind the initial fake news as part of the propaganda to justify their Muslim Muslim tickets

I never give lifts to arm carrying persons for this reason.
Be you military,police ,DSS,etc..I don't do it.
The best way to be safe is not to give lifts at all!

It's not everything you know that you say.

The murder of the man is vexatious.

If the media did not mention the names of the murderers, you don't have to. If the media did not state the religion of the murderers, you don't have to.

The way you painted it that Christian soldiers killed a Muslim cleric can start attacks on Christians in the North.

Be careful please and let the authorities handle the matter.

So sad

Can we all accept that criminals are criminals irrespective of religion. And stop casting nonsense everywhere

But someone can simply shout Allaahu Akbar and you scapegoat the entire Muslim adherents?
