Five Islamic Clerics Abducted After Attending Prayer For Tinubu’s Re-Election At Senator Yari’s Zamfara Residence

Five Islamic clerics have reportedly been abducted by suspected terrorists after attending a special prayer gathering organised for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election at the residence of former Zamfara State Governor and serving Senator Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari in Talata Mafara.

The clerics were reportedly abducted on Saturday, September 12, 2026, shortly after attending the gathering at Yari’s residence, where about 1,000 Islamic scholars were said to have gathered to pray for Tinubu’s victory in the 2027 presidential 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 Local Government Areas 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 this report.

Security agencies have yet to issue an official statement on the reported abductions as of press time.

Also, the Zamfara State police spokesman, Yezid Abubakar has not responded to messages and calls sent to him seeking his comment.

I wish them renewed hope for safe return from the kidnappers.

Why is Tinubu so incompetent and yet so corrupt and greedy?

The master strategist of fake news is the man who said he stopped borrowing because of higher revenue August targets.

Is he not borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol, cheap dollars, widespread prosperity, peace and security?

I found it interesting the way you people celebrate any bad news about the opposition but suddenly become moral judges when people do same to your people when in similar situation. 😅

Why attach their kidnapping to praying for Tinubu? People should be free to support whom they wish.

According to ZONBs on Nairaland.

Tinubu has the NORTH in the BAG grin

Remi TINUBU is giving away ....

Gas Cookers
Fridges
Commercial Grinding machines
Large amounts of money
etc etc etc

.....to woo the SE votes for her husband. While those that FIGHT Peter Obi... , but support APC are given ...

a bag of Rice and #2k.

This should show you that TINUBU doesnt even regard the SW. With all the NOISE coming from that region.

Anyway...the NORTH has spoken in different actions and words. TINUBU is NOT welcome grin

Tinubu is OTP.
