Kidnapped Nigerian retired general dies in captivity bbc.in/4xtbUWY

Today, Katsina buried a retired General who was abducted by bandits and died in captivity. Yet, some officials want the public to believe it was merely a “natural death.” What is natural about being kidnapped by terrorists? What is natural about spending days or weeks in captivity under the control of armed criminals? If General Rabe Abubakar had not been abducted, would he have died under those circumstances? This narrative is not only disappointing, it is deeply insulting to every family that has lost a loved one to banditry across Katsina State. It diminishes the pain of victims, ignores the reality of insecurity, and sends a dangerous message that the consequences of terrorism can simply be explained away. The issue is not just how General Rabe died. The issue is that a respected military officer was taken by bandits in the first place and never returned alive. That is the tragedy. That is the failure. That is what should concern every citizen. Katsina deserves honesty, accountability, and a government that stands firmly with victims of terrorism. Calling this a “natural death” only adds salt to an already painful wound. May Allah grant General Rabe Abubakar eternal rest and comfort his family in this difficult time.

The North is gradually becoming a graveyard, with more people dying silently at the hands of terrorists. While victims continue to suffer, the Katsina State Government is busy building houses for repentant bandits, and hundreds of former insurgents have been reintegrated into communities in Borno. What message are we sending to the victims and their families? Why should Nigerians trust a government that appears to prioritize the rehabilitation of perpetrators while many victims remain neglected?
17 farmers killed just like that. No word from Authorities from top to bottom. 💔 #maradunjune12killings

Bandits killed him, yet the Katsina State Government is describing it as a natural death. Can someone in captivity really have a “natural death”? This explanation raises serious doubts and questions about the government’s position in this case.

In this situation, the Katsina State Government is reportedly planning to purchase houses for so-called repentant bandits and provide startup funds, while victims are left on the streets with no support, hope, or clear future.

Retired Major General Rabe Musa has died in captivity after being abducted by bandits in Katsina State. His death marks another tragic reminder of the worsening insecurity facing communities across northern Nigeria.

Wallahi azeem Nigeria isn’t in a good state and God will punish everyone who has a hand in our current situations. Nigerians needs to stop pretending like there’s nothing bad happening in the country. We must hold these our crook leaders accountable for all the mess in the country or else our next generation will suffer more.

Real and true citizens like VDM and the likes are out there protesting about banditry and kidnapping that’s ravaging the north the most. Our people? Salim Goje and his marriage is the topic of concern.

Attacks and killings have become a daily routine in North. They happened yesterday, they are happening today, and they will still happen tomorrow. People of Arewa, wake up! ana cin zarafi da kashe mana yan uwa.

It’s only in the North where some people will hate you for speaking against insecurity, extremism, and bad governance. Too many would rather focus on nonsense than the issues affecting people’s lives.

All the stupid “Arewa has no media” to talk about the insecurity in the north should watch the mighty power of Arewa Media now that Saleem Goje’s gossip trending.

It's troubling how daily reports of banditry and kidnappings barely get attention, yet a leaked video or sensational screenshot spreads across timelines within minutes. Our priorities as a society often seem misplaced. 💯

More than 20 people were reportedly killed by bandits tonight in Gora Namaye, Maradun LGA of Zamfara State. Yet Arewa social media is consumed with discussions about Salim Goje’s personal affairs. The silence over mass killings is disturbing. Shame.

In dai gulma ne, Arewa Twitter will never come last. But when it comes to development and supporting what is good for the region, wallahi, it takes the grace of God to get many people to participate.
