In a heartbreaking turn of events, the son of Alhaji Isa Bawa, the District Head of Gatawa in Sabon Birni LGA, Sokoto State, has been released after a harrowing month in captivity.
His release came at the steep price of ₦60 million and five motorcycles, handed over to the ruthless bandits who had abducted him and his father.
Tragically, the revered monarch, Alhaji Isa Bawa, did not survive his captivity. His captors reportedly buried him in the bush after his death. The news of his burial was confirmed by his son, Surajo Isa, who shared the heart-wrenching details with *Daily Trust*.
Hon. Aminu Boza, a Sokoto State House of Assembly member, expressed deep sorrow over the incident, revealing that the late monarch’s other son, Alhaji Kabir Isa, is currently receiving treatment at Usman Danfodio Teaching Hospital in Sokoto.
The tragic death of the Emir, buried in the wilderness, marks a grim chapter for the Gatawa community.
