Terrorists release video of kidnapped palace servant, others in Zamfara
A servant of the Emir of Zamfara named Alhaji Buhari (Shamaki) in a video has pleaded with the monarch to ensure their release from kidnappers’ den.
Last week, bandits raided the palace of the Emir, Alhaji Bello Muhammad Bunu, killing three persons and abducting some locals.
According to residents, the bandits raided the town at 10pm on Wednesday and targeted the mansion of Nasarawa State’s former Military Administrator, Colonel Bala Muhammad Mande (rtd).
The Emir was, however, taken away by security agents to Gusau.

In the video, the abducted servant and other men were seen with eyes blocked with pieces of cloths and surrounded by the bandits, while one of them (Shamaki) urged the Emir to show compassion and help in their release.
Invoking the name of Allah for mercy and support, he said they are over 600 individuals in need of assistance to go back home and continue providing food for their families.
He said, “We are calling on the Emir of Zamfara to have sympathy on us, in the name of Allah, and help our release.
“We are just looking for what to eat and feed our families. Even if one has nothing, waking up with something to eat and feed one’s family is enough.
“I am your Shamaki, Alhaji Buhari. Please and please, Your Highness, help us, your people who are in need of your help. We are over 600 in the bush.”

Appeal court takes over NURTW case as NIC withdraws
Appeal court takes over NURTW case as NIC withdraws
The National Industrial Court has withdrawn from a case involving Alhaji Najeem Usman Yasin, Board of Trustees chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa’s ambition to return as president of the union over lack of jurisdiction.
The industrial court’s decision was made to avoid conflict with the Court of Appeal, where the matter is already being heard.
Before the NIC announced its decision to hands-off the case, the defendants’ counsel, Mr. O.I. Olorundare SAN, had informed the court that the matter is currently before the Court of Appeal, Abuja division, and that the industrial court could not continue to adjudicate on the same matter.
The counsel cited authorities to support his claim, adding that the National Industrial Court does not have concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Appeal.
The presiding judge, O.O. Oyewunmi, struck out the case, stating that the Appeal Court had taken over the matter and that the Industrial Court must respect the hierarchy of courts.
Alhaji Yasin and six others took the case to the Appeal Court, challenging the decision of the industrial court recognising a delegates’ conference held on May 24, 2023, where Baruwa was proclaimed as President of the union for a second term in office.
With the latest NIC judgement, both parties will now proceed to defend their positions at the Court of Appeal and await the final judgement.
