The travails of Mr. Suleiman Saidu Tawana

Ordinarily, the choice or adherence to any organisation legal or Illegal should be the prerogative of everyone especially adults anywhere in the world.

This was not the same for Mr Suleiman Saidu Tawana a born Muslim who is very good in reciting the Holy Koran and second Son of his family residing in Angawr Sharki area of Kaduna State in Northern Nigeria, he is married and had children but his problem started when he was approached by one of the high profile Boko Haram Terrorist Commanders to join the group with a promise of large sum of cash in dollars but he turned down the offer. His refusal to accept the offer and join the group angered the Boko Haram terrorist which planned and launched an attack on him but information got to Mr Suleiman Saidu Tawana early, and he evacuated his family before the arrival of dreaded Boko Haram fanatics that came with assault rifles, knifes and other dangerous weapons.

However, he lost everything he had laboured for in life — his apartment was completely destroyed and burnt down. Since then the whereabouts of Mr Suleiman Saidu Tawana and his family remain unknown since the incident occurred on 14 June, 2019. Some people believe that he might have been killed or detained somewhere by the dreaded terrorist that declared total war on him, and ordered  their members to get him dead or alive.

Fear became high when he was not sighted anywhere by family and friends. Those close to him are so worried because his cell phone contact is not going through. The disappearance of Mr Suleiman Saidu Tawana to unknown destination is a dangerous signal and  worrisome. This is just one out of many.
