A former chairman of the Kebbi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Muhammadu Besse, has died in bandits’ captivity.
Besse was abducted earlier in June.
This was disclosed on Tuesday in a post on X by Bakatsine, a
journalist who reports on conflict and insecurity in Nigeria’s North-West
region.
Recall that a video had emerged, showing the former APC
chairman and his associate being humiliated by bandits in the Birnin Gwari
forest.
Bakatsine wrote: “DEVASTATING UPDATE: Alhaji Muhammadu Mai
Barga Besse, the immediate former APC Chairman of Koko/Besse LGA in Kebbi
State, has now also been confirmed dead in captivity.
“This means both men seen in the videos released from the
Birnin Gwari forest have lost their lives without ever reuniting with their
families after their abduction.
“What began as disturbing footage of humiliation has ended
in the worst possible tragedy. Two lives gone, two families shattered and more
painful questions about the security crisis facing communities across northern
Nigeria.
“May Almighty Allah forgive them, grant them Aljannatul
Firdaus and comfort their loved ones.”
