‘They Killed My Husband in Front of Me’: Widow Shares Horrifying Kebbi Abduction Experience

Amina Hassan, wife of Yakubu Makuku, head of security at Government Comprehensive Girls Secondary School, Maga, Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, which was attacked on Monday morning, has narrated how her husband was killed.

Speaking with newsmen at the scene of the incident, she said after invading the school, the attackers barged into their apartment.

The widow said she did not know that human beings were the ones in front of the door until they marched in.

“It was around 4 am on Monday and my husband and I were in bed when we heard the entrance door being forced opened. I woke my husband up but he thought it was the goats that were there.”

“But suddenly, armed men burst into our room and they asked him to take them to the girls’ hostel. He refused and they shot him. I rushed to hold him, but they pushed me aside and moved on to the hostel. I don’t know how they managed to abduct the girls, but I heard them screaming and crying. It’s still a nightmare to me,” she said.

She added that another man, Ali Shehu, who was the school’s gateman, was also shot dead by the bandits.
