As President Tinubu and the political elite reduce governance to the pursuit of personal fancies, life in Nigeria has become nasty, brutish and short.
In Sokoto for instance, a large group of youths from Sabon Birni Gobir Local Government Area has protested against the abduction and brutal killing of Alhaji Isa Muhammad Bawa, the Sarkin Gobir of Gatawa District.
The demonstration erupted following Bawa’s death, which occurred on Wednesday after he was kidnapped and violently killed by his captors.
Footage obtained shows the protesters marching toward the residence of Sokoto’s deputy governor, Alhaji Idris Muhammad Gobir, setting tires and other objects ablaze along their route.
 Their protest reflects their demand for justice and greater action to address escalating violence in the region.
The protest comes amid reports that Alhaji Bawa was buried without his body present due to the circumstances of his death.
A video surfaced showing Bawa pleading for help before his death, which was confirmed after the terrorists’ demand for a ransom of N60 million and five motorcycles for his body.
The kidnappers initially sought N1 billion for the release of Bawa and his son, who were abducted in July.
 The distressing video of Bawa, captured in captivity, shows his desperate pleas for assistance.
In response, President Bola Tinubu has condemned the attack, calling it a grave and unforgivable act.
He has extended condolences to Bawa’s family, the Gobir Emirate, and the Sokoto State government.
