On August 21, 2024 reported that the Sarkin Gobir of Gatawa District in Sokoto State, Alhaji Isa Muhammad Bawa has been brutally killed by bandits after being abducted, tortured, and dehumanised.

Few days after the traditional ruler’s gruesome murder, bandits reportedly attacked Gobir town and abducted over 150 mourners, according to Prof. Bello Bada of the Usman Dan Fodio University Sokoto.
